A vertical-scrolling arcade shooter set above Jupiter
The briefing
In Jupiter Probe, players pilot one of three scout ships above Jupiter’s surface, sending back photographs while uncovering the planet’s secrets and fighting an alien race bent on destroying Earth.
The ships are armed with twin laser cannons and a limited supply of advanced features. Ultrasonics destroy nearby aliens, while Shields provide temporary protection from enemy fire.
This vertical-scrolling shooter combines colourful scenery—including craters, mountains, rivers, and ground bases—with plentiful enemies and action. Control is available through a mouse, joystick, or keyboard, and the game appeared on Amiga and Atari ST systems.
