Introduction |
Battle Planet
is a modern version of the old action
style game "Battle City". Instead of the old fashioned earth battles you fight with your ultra
modern space ship deep in the interplanetary space. This game challenges your
abilities of a good pilot and fast shooter at the same time, that is why you
will love it for sure.
Your mission is to protect your base space station "SPIDER 3". You
must destroy all enemy ships within your range of vision in order to clear the
way for your space station.
"SPIDER 3" - Your base space station.
SDSS2G (Special Defensive Space Ship Second Generation ) - You control that space ship.
