ALPHA BLASTER


GAME DESCRIPTION

A sixteen screen fast-action classic arcade battle between
alien forces from the planet Alpha and a lone Federation
battle cruiser with it's supply consort. As commander of
the battle cruiser, your survival depends on your ability
to out-wit and out-gun the Alpha. If you survive the first
two stages of the battle, you will be forced to negotiate
an asteroid belt in order to reach your supply ship. You
must then manoeuvre your craft into position for docking,
in order to take on fresh supplies of ammunition and fuel.
Once the supplies are on board, you are ready to do battle
once more but each time you return to the fight you will
find the Alpha even more tenacious.
