Some of these will merge and form Hunter-Killer UFOs that go after your ship. Your ship is armed with a laser and a force field that gives you some protection. Occasionally, a Light-Speed Starship will come on the scene, first to blast away at your shield, then to blast away at your ship.Gorf

The first one ist basically is a Space Invaders clone. In the second one a formation of space ships is hovering at the top of the screen while single space ships will disengage from the formation and dive down at you. The third variant is a Glaxian clone and only available in the Arcade version. In the fourth mini-game the enemy will come out of a circular hyperspace field and attack you. After having destroyed four of your attackers the game proceeds to the fifth game stage. Here a huge mothership is dropping bombs at you from the top of the screen. You defeat the mothership with a well placed projectile hitting it between its two major sections. After that the game starts from the gebinning on a higher difficulty level.Starship Enterprise

The game is much like playing Centipede in a Galaxian-type environment. Interestingly enough, if you move, the shot moves as well.Missile Command

Originally called "Alien Attack," this game pits the player against alien "spores." Although the spores themselves are harmless, they can join together to form giant aliens that chase you down and eat you. To make matters more interesting, scattered around the playing field are a number of "incubators," which can hatch either more spores or, at later levels (or in early levels, in more advanced difficulty levels), more aliens. Use your ship's weapons to blast the spores before they can make new aliens, and blast any aliens before they can devour you.TI Invaders

TI Invaders is a clone of the game Space Invaders and features similar gameplay. You control a canon at the bottom of the screen, and need to destroy the rows of bomb-dropping invaders! The invaders march back and forth on the screen; each time the edge of the screen is reached, they drop a row closer towards the bottom. If they reach the bottom of the screen before you destroy them, the game will be over. Destroy all the invaders, and you move on to the next, more difficult level. Occasionally, a flying saucer will appear at the top of the screen; this can be shot for bonus points. Between levels you will also have an opportunity to earn bonus points by shooting the saucer as many times as possible before it flies off the screen.800 Fathoms

800 Fathoms
1981
The player has to guide a submarine armed with torpedoes and missiles through five levels while fighting different underwater terrors. The game play is easy during the first five areas but it gets really tough at the later levels where the underwater landscape "grows" and there is not much space left for maneuvering the submarine. At the end of each area the boss-submarine appears and its firepower is not easy to overcome. US Billiards, the 800 Fathoms maker, released 10 different machines in our database under this trade name, starting in 1973. Other machines made by US Billiards during the time period 800 Fathoms was produced include Ab$cam, Variety, US Billiards, Video Pool, Survival, and Shark.Gingateikoku No Gyakushu
