Some versions were one-player against two flying saucers, others were [[Player Versus Player]]. It's a simplified version of ''Space War'', without the planet and gravity. Your ship fires [[One Bullet At a Time]], and you can guide it by turning your ship. In one-player versions, if you [[Scoring Points|score more points]] than the saucers at the end of [[Timed Mission|90 seconds]], you get another 90 seconds of gameplay. |
