Your craft is the flagship of the seventh squadron but the sole defence for the Federation mothership it guards. Suddenly the enemy attacks in droves and the fortunes of the galaxy are in your hands.

  • Superb scrolling arcade action over three scenarios.
  • Can you beat the “Mega Speed” in the tunnel of death?

Developed by Søren Grønbech in 1985 while he was working at Kele Line. The game was released by Quick Soft in 1986 under the name Cyber 1 as part of their discount game line.

However Søren never struck a deal with anyone about the game, only mailing it to potential publishers, so potentially they never officially had the rights to publish it. These days Søren is hosting a cracked release by The Breaker of DCS on his own webpage for anyone to download.

The game itself has three game modes, the first one is a SHMUP section where the player can move about freely both vertically and horizontally, where you must shoot down alien crafts.

The second part is a side scrolling game, where the player must avoid hitting the top and bottom walls. The third part (which I am not good enough to get a screenshot of) has the player navigating a maze on foot collecting items.
