Game Play

Player moves a small motorized tank left and right via two buttons, and then fires ahead of the incoming planes using the button on top of the joystick. Once the missile is launched, the missile can be slightly steered into the oncoming planes by moving the joystick left or right. If a plane is hit, an explosion is heard and an explosion flashes on the projection screen.

Has electronic sound. Game uses a looping film strip to show the planes on a projection screen. The missile on the tank lights up when a missile is fired.
