2024-03-02: The wiki ran out of disk space, so things were not working. This has been resolved by adding another 5GB of quota ;-) Thanks to Tim Lindner for reporting the issues.
2020-05-17: If a page gives you an error about some revision not being found, just EDIT the page and the old page should appear in the editor. If it does, just SAVE that and the page should be restored. OS-9 Al (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2020 (CDT)

A clone of Astro Fighter [1], itself an updated clone of Space Invaders.
You have to destroy the enemy ships and avoid or destroy the meteorites, using either your ship's gun or exhaust, before your fuel is used up. The ship has a shied that can take up to 3 hits.
Compatibility
The game itself runs fine in the CoCo 3, but the skill level selection screen uses one of the VDG semi-graphic modes, causing it not to be properly displayed by the GIME
