It's the year 2163, and the Bydo Empire has resurfaced with new plans to
destroy Earth. Bydo's Mortiz-G doomsday weapon has the capacity to
eliminate the fair planet for good, and you stand as humanity's last
hope.
To save the planet, you'll commandeer one of three awesome ships:
the R9a, which boasts an energy-dispersing cannon; the Rx, a ship that
features wave cannons, a time disruption corridor, a chain reaction
missile, and a tentacle force; and the R13, which uses a lightning
cannon, a photon missile, and a claw-shaped anchor force.
The game's
seven broad, detailed levels all contain Force power-ups, which attach
to your ship to help protect you against enemy fire.
