Is it still worth playing?
An American space pilot has to stop three Soviet nuclear attacks on North America and then fight into a nuclear facility in Moscow's Kremlin and destroy it. It is an action game, released for the Commodore 64 in 1984 and for other microcomputers in 1985 and 1986. The first stage opens with an alert that a missile has been launched, in the hangar where the spaceplanes are stored. The player flies a craft out, then guides the spaceplane from low Earth orbit to the launching city, with the time before impact continually shown. More spaceplanes can be maneuvered out first. The player then has to fly through the defense perimeter, dodging obstacles, heat-seeking missiles and Soviet tanks and planes. A race against a missile launch clock is still a tense goal.
