This electronic table-top game console requires the player to dodge missiles fired by alien ships, destroy the attackers, and launch and recover their space capsule. Four different skill levels are provided with automatic scoring and electronic sound effects.

From the box: "Ultra-modern arcade excitement is now yours, as you defend your earth ships against a fierce invasion. You must dodge the enemy missiles and fire back at the squadrons of attacking fighters, warships and enemy command ships. If you survive, you can attempt the exciting docking manoeuvre and earn extra points."
