Description

Orbit is a simple shooting game in which a Romulan spaceship is orbiting a planet. The player must fire a photon bomb. The player must specify the angle to fire the bomb at and the distance at which to make it explode. After firing the player either destroyed the ship and the game is over or the distance between the ship and the explosion is displayed and the player can try again for a new ship.
