2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.

A clone of Astro Fighter [1], itself an updated clone of Space Invaders.
You have to destroy the enemy ships and avoid or destroy the meteorites, using either your ship's gun or exhaust, before your fuel is used up. The ship has a shied that can take up to 3 hits.
Compatibility
The game itself runs fine in the CoCo 3, but the skill level selection screen uses one of the VDG semi-graphic modes, causing it not to be properly displayed by the GIME
