Comments:
Based on an ancient black and white B-movie from 1964. The film has something to do with an astronaut returning to earth only to find it under invasion from robots who are re-animating dead bodies and using them as soldiers. The astronaut teams up with the few saviors to battle the robot menace. The game, however, has you controlling a cross hair shooting brightly coloured blobs (obviously invading robots in disguise). There is a sort of map at the top of the screen which tracks where the blobs- sorry robots - are attacking from. Take to many hits from the space attackers and it's game over. The graphics are quite good for their time, the aliens zoom in and out smoothly but other than that it is the usual sparse, primative stuff.
