Apparently completed yet never commercially released, this game was translated by the same programmer behind Defender, who coded it on an Apple II instead of an Atari. It shows. The framerate is hideous, which makes gameplay all but impossible. Compare this to Archer MacLean's legendary Dropzone and weep at what could have been.
