Light gun shovelware, but props to the devs for putting a mode that makes it look like you took a bat to the PCB so you don't have to
it's a relatively straightforward railgun shooter, despite the visuals being a bit dated I think they did a pretty good job with the renders. I played solo and got what I presume is the bad ending but I'm sure the final section is easy with a 2nd player
I played this for like 10 minutes with a friend at MAGfest and he couldn't stop "accidentally" shooting the friendly NPCs. I guess he just really doesn't like the feds.
Pretty cool if you have lots of quarters. These types of aliens gave me nightmares as a kid. They were like signs aliens but way worse.
putting in 2 quarters and wielding both guns on the arcade cabinet like ice cube in ghosts of mars
still super cheesy and the saturn version is grainy as hell but i had fun with area 51.
also please play this (or any arcade shooter really) with a light gun because the cursor when using controller is not fast enough, which can cause some frustration, it's definitely still playable with or without the gun but it's a lot better with it
6/10
