It has a ton of ports, including a [[Sega Master System]] version, a Commodore64 version, and a bootlegged version for the NES, made by [[Atari]]'s Tengen division. It has 7 stages, with stage 7 consisting of only the final boss fight in all versions. The differences between versions were many and varied, though the screen displaying the enemy ships was pretty much consistent. Some versions changed stages, or the final boss, or musics, or some mix. The Commodore64 and NES versions are known for being close to the original arcade.

 

 

The arcade was noted for having an egregiously short timer, though other versions have more forgiving ones.

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Aliens Are Bastards]]: Though of the generic [[Excuse Plot]] kind, mostly done for the sake of gameplay.

* [[Arbitrary Maximum Range]]: The default gun had this.

* [[Excuse Plot]]: Save your comrades, defeat the aliens, and not much else.

* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: One of the weapons available to the player.

* [[Humanoid Abomination]]: The [[Final Boss]]. In the NES version, he's different, but still one of these. Just in a very different way.

* [[Instant Death Radius]]: Due more to [[Hitbox Dissonance]] than deliberate design.

* [[Mook Maker]]: The ones in this game overlap with [[Boss in Mooks Clothing]] above.

* [[Power-Up]]: Sort of. Gun upgrades were not anymore powerful than your default one, but may have better range, rate of fire or speed.

* [[Respawning Enemies]]: Two types, both the types that spawn from a [[Spawn Point]], and the types who respawn from scrolling back and forth on their spot.

* [[Timed Mission]]: Obviously.
