The Paranoid — 11 Jun 2009
Ever considered trying a joystick ? Fire is shoot, left/right moves the ship left/right, up/down changes direction and/or accelerates. Space is super-speed if still available. The goal is to shoot ground based targets until the world's energy is drained (as shown by the top symbol on the right). Then the portal in screenshot #5 opens.

How do you play? I have figured out the following thus far: 1 = Start game Mouse = Control movement Space = Speedup Mouse Left Button = Speedup Mouse Right Button = ? How do I shoot? What's the point of this game? I remember playing this in the 80's, and it didn't make sense to me then, either.
