Defcom 1
Thanks to Earth’s Star Wars Defence System, there hasn’t been a war for years.
Problem is a race of aliens are using the system to destroy eight major
cities. The player, as Captain Nick Diamond, has to fly an EagleClassE751 over
Earth and destroy the aliens and the satellites. Collect 1000 and Nick gets an
upgrade to double lasers. While fighting Nick will be told which continent he
is over.
_Defcom_ is a 3D shoot-em-up with a third person perspective from behind the
ship. Aliens and satellites come towards the ship from the distance. Earth is
seen at the bottom of the screen. Pushing the joystick left and the ship
swings to the right and vice versa. Pressing the fire button fires the ship’s
weapon. While in the heat of battle the player can press space and a menu
appears. Here the player can select a weapon, see his or her score or see the
ship’s energy and cities being hit. While paused the player can’t fire but can
still be destroyed.
