A 1991 Amiga shooter set across eight underwater colonies
The briefing
After a nuclear war devastates Earth, humanity's remaining survivors retreat to eight underwater colonies. The alien Spurcians conquer the colonies, leaving pilot Josh Aldrin as the last human on Earth after they destroy the orbital freight vessel Genesite.
As Josh, you pilot a craft above the water, destroying alien ships and energy generators. Once enough generators are destroyed, the main pyramid's energy shield fails, allowing you to confront the level guardian. Defeating the guardian opens a tunnel to the next colony.
Across all eight colonies, power-ups found in the tunnels can restore your ship's energy. However, each level must be completed with the energy you currently have, and you have only a single life.
