Overview
Description

In the year 2098 humanity faces a critical attack from the hostile planet Zeograd. Commander Parker Deehan pilots the F98 Star Soldier fighter to turn the tide and prevent Earth's extinction. The game delivers fast‑paced, vertical‑scroll action with retro graphics, power‑up upgrades, and challenging boss battles, all wrapped in a classic 1998 sci‑fi storyline.

Take command of the Star Voyager from the bridge and race through rushing stars, hunting enemy ships with lasers and photon torpedoes. Navigate seven treacherous star portals to restore energy and save the Capital Starport. Manage your energy levels on the instrument panel and use the radar to locate threats and portals. Crash into a portal and you’re destroyed, so timing and precision are key in this fast‑paced sci‑fi action experience.
