Destroy the Space Vaders!
Description
Space Vaders is a two-dimensional shooter game. The player controls a laser cannon by moving it horizontially across the bottom of the screen, and firing at space vaders. The aim is to defeat five rows of eleven space vaders that move horizontially back and forth across the screen, before they reach the bottom of the screen. The player defeats an space vader by shooting it with the laser cannon, earning points.

As more space vaders are defeated, the space vaders' movement and the game's music speed up. Defeating all the space vaders brings another wave that is more difficult. The space vaders attempt to destroy the cannon by firing at it while approaching the bottom of the screen. If they reach the bottom, the alien invasion is successful and the game ends. A special mystery ship will sometimes move across the top of the screen. The laser cannon is partially protected by four stationary defense bunkers are gradually destroyed by alien fire.
