ThunderbirdPC Port

A cross between paddle game and shooter. You steer the Thunderbird along the top of the field and rebound a bouncing satellite down through saucers and trees. A wing hit scores 75 and a body hit 25, while dropping it into a well costs 125 points but makes the ship laser the saucers below. Breaking out through the bottom earns 1000 and a harder field; losing two satellites out of the top ends the game.

Controls: Left and right move the Thunderbird; the button starts.
