Overview
Description

In Assault, a mothership drops up to three alien ships at a time, with ten enemies per level. You steer left and right with the joystick and fire upward, while dodging hostile projectiles and items they drop. As you keep firing, a heat meter fills; overheating or taking a hit costs a life. Reach 999,999 points or lose all lives, and earn an extra man every 10,000 points, up to four lives total.

Incoming Forces thrusts you into the role of an alien soldier fighting to protect your home planet from an invading human fleet. Each level bursts with enemies and targets, delivering relentless arcade-style shooting action. The game offers a single-player experience packed with sci‑fi warfare, fast‑paced combat, and a variety of weapons to master, all on PC.
