Mickyd: Undo revision 11234 by Carney (talk) reverted change made by previous author since it conflicted with the intent and truth for when the game is written. Photoshop clones that might be available in the 21st century are irrelevant for the time.

Carney: deleted the lament for the CoCo not having a PhotoShop since there were several notable CoCo painting programs and image digitizers; we don't want to give readers the untrue impression that the CoCo lacked such capabilities

	The objective of the game is to traverse over a number of planets in a solar system flying in the Xenion XE-11 fighter. Up to two players can play in the usual arcade style of I-play-first-you-play-second interaction using a corresponding joystick. Whilst playing, the player must shoot down enemy ships, destroy tanks, laser projectors, force fields and dodge enemy missile attacks.
