About this game

Dominator is a classic shooter released in 1988. You control a small spaceship tasked with saving Earth from an alien attack while navigating narrow passages under constant assault.

The opening stage uses vertical scrolling and begins with the ship in its basic configuration. Later stages scroll horizontally and introduce power-ups, including speed-ups and tail cannons, to improve your firepower and maneuverability. Most stages conclude with a powerful boss encounter.
