About the Game

Originally released in 1984, this unique shooter saw players take on the role of a pilot of an out-dated Cosmic Cruiser, fighting to rescue the crew of a distant space station that had been captured by a raiding party from the sinister Rallom Empire. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version.

Gameplay

Use your ship's large roof-mounted space cannon to blast open portals on the spinning space station, allowing you to enter and rescue crew members, but watch out: alien warriors swarm the station, and your handheld laser gun has limited ammo!


This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:

  • Saving/loading the game at any point
  • Support for most modern game controllers
  • Full control remapping
  • Image scaling and smoothing options
