1984 1-2 Players Not Rated

EIGHT SEPARATE SCENARIOS WITH SMOOTH SCROLLING SCREENS, FAST ACTION AND PLENTY OF EXCITEMENT. Long ago, eons past, a doomsday machine was placed in high orbit above the satellites XYLOS and PHOLOS. Its role: to deter further acts of nuclear war between the empires of the galaxy. Should critical levels of nuclear activity be detected emanating from the surface of the satellites, the machine will activate and destroy both civilizations. Marauding invaders, from the ZAGOS GALAXY, unaware of the danger from the doomsday machine, launch a nuclear attack against PHOLOS.
