@MoreDakka101 the arcade game came out in 1987, way back when the biggest threat to the US was the cold war. but you have to admit, that opening intro was rather cryptic in foreshadowing what would happen years later.
@MoreDakka101 indeed. of course, i would love for Sega to remake this game for the Wii since the controls fit quite well (i.e. Nunchuck's thumbstick as the Satellite's movements, while the cursor and firing can be done with the wii remote)
That was impressive. I never beat this game alone. My brother was better than me at the offensive stages and I was better at the defensive ones. We managed to beat this game together, but none of us could beat it alone.
@figment1988 true dat. The theme of the game makes sense for that time period. I'll just have to keep my eyes open and hope one of the machines turns up at an arcade/pinball convention sometime (cause you really should play things on their original formats)

All these years and I hadn't realized the blue bird on the congratulations screen is Flicky.

@figment1988 oh yeah. Never thought of it that way. Remaking a game like this for the Wii makes perfect sense!

I don't think I've ever played this game. I'm going to have to try and find a copy. Looks like good fun
no make it on the pc still far and away better than any console
