The briefing

About this game

Colony 7 is a single-screen arcade shooter in which you defend a colony’s power generators from constant attacks by Jarvian alien invaders.

The settlement is protected by a shield and equipped with two pulse cannons. Additional weapons can be purchased with credits, including a limited-use Mega-Blaster that destroys everything within its radius and a once-per-game Eradicator that clears every alien from the screen.

Combining fixed-screen shooting with elements of Missile Command, Colony 7 requires the player to protect the cannons as well as the generators, since losing both cannons leaves the colony defenceless.
