The time bomb is set.

It's the only sure way to get rid of these aliens. For good.

They're vile. Vicious. And villainous.

And they've infested our outcolony.

They're holding hundreds of inhabitants hostage. Some of them your friends.

So get in there. And get blasting.

Inside, you'll find state-of-the-art weaponry. It's yours for the taking.

There's sector after sector to purge. Each more intricate than the one before it.

And there are Super Aliens to confront. Each more hideous than the one before it.

Get the hostages out. And get as many aliens as you can. Before the blast gets all of you.

Corridors, passages, and secret rooms. It's truly a maze. So don't get lost.

It's the breeding source for hundreds of hideous mutants. Off it!

Just when you thought it was dead, you're attacked by its head!

These sneaky little parasites may look harmless - but they're pure poison.

THE BATTLE BETWEEN FLESH AND SLIME.

The extra-terrestrials in this game are anything but friendly. They're slimy monsters that are holding space colonists captive aboard seven alien starships.

For one or two players, this super action game challenges you to free the helpless hostages. Search each ship's deadly levels, using flamethrowers and laser cannons to vaporize alien scum. Look for maps to help you find your way.

After you've saved all the captives from one ship, you must destroy its powerful leader before you can move on to the next ship.

Remember, to the aliens, you're slime. And they want you good... and dead.
