About this game

3 Deep Space is a side-view shooter set at the entrance to a Stargate leading back to Earth. Players control a craft at the bottom of the screen and destroy enemy ships moving toward it at different depths.

The objective is to stop as many Andromedan ships as possible, with special attention given to Dragon Class Starcruisers carrying Battle Commanders. The game ends if the player's craft touches an enemy or a Dragon Class Starcruiser passes through.

Its central feature is a 3D presentation using the 3D glasses supplied with the game. In addition to moving left and right, the player's craft can move in and out of the screen.
