Description:

Blast off and strike the evil Bydo Empire!

The galaxy is in deep peril: Foul creatures from the evil Bydo Empire have warped across space to invade and conquer our planet.
There is only one hope for victory: The R-9 Arrowhead, a nuclear-powered space fighter with the most advanced weaponry available.

Fly the R-9 through enemy territories, destroying armies of nasty creatures and their deadly machines.
And when the going gets really tough, pick up the "Force" module to make your ship even harder hitting.

Earth is depending on you, so strap yourself in the cockpit, and terminate the Bydo Empire with extreme prejudice!
