Gunstar

In Gunstar, an unknown alien force has invaded Earth and enslaved its population. The Gunstar Fleet sends three fighter pilots in Pulse Fighters to destroy the invaders and reclaim the planet.

Gameplay

Each level contains five stages that must be completed in sequence:

• Fighter Stage: Destroy the alien ships moving around the screen.
• Asteroid Stage: Avoid asteroids moving downward.
• Alien Command Ship: Destroy the turrets on a large enemy ship.
• A.L.L.O.Y. Robot Stage: Eliminate the turrets on a huge robot.
• Docking Stage: Touch the back of a ship to refuel and advance before the time limit expires.

Your gun can overheat if fired continuously. If the heat gauge fills, the fighter is destroyed. Colliding with ships or asteroids, or being hit by enemy fire, also kills the current pilot. The next pilot then resumes from the first stage. Losing all three pilots ends the game, while each level must be completed before the fuel gauge runs out.
