About this game

In Argos, Earth is threatened by the alien Znark, who are fleeing their doomed home planet, Argos. The game features three stages with different gameplay scenarios.

Gameplay

  1. Defense satellite: Launch missiles from a satellite near Saturn and destroy aliens swirling across the screen.
  2. Last surviving city: Use two ground-based anti-jet guns to destroy attacking bombers before the city's protective force field is destroyed.
  3. City streets: Control a tank from left to right and fire missiles at attacking spaceships, bombs, missiles, and parachuters.

Argos was released for the Apple II in 1982 and published by Datamost, Inc.
