Guardian II: Revenge of the Mutants

Guardian II: Revenge of the Mutants is a Defender-style arcade shooter in which players pilot the Mk.II Fighter across a horizontally scrolling planet. Raiders capture Earthlings and transform them into Mutants when they reach the top of the screen, while the player must protect the remaining population.

Shooting a Raider carrying an Earthling causes the captive to drop, allowing the player to catch and return them to the planet's surface. The action can move in either direction, with threats including Hive, Dynamo, Technofighter, Firebomber, and Lure.
