Game Introduction

Unlike Space Laser, this game is one or two player and was designed for a cocktail cabinet. Also, the ships moving horizontally across the screen are not always solid but flash on and off.

Game Play

When your fuel reaches a high number (like 75 or so) your laser will reach the other side of the screen to get your opponent. Once you fire your laser your fuel drops sharply and you must wait for it to build before you can shoot at your opponent again.
