Overview
The gameplay appears to be a cross between Space Invaders and Frogger, except it came out nearly two years before Frogger.
The game, developed by Nintendo R&D1, was released in 1979, by Nintendo in Japan and Far East Video in Europe.
Gameplay
The objective of the game is to fly the rocket up to any of the four ports to pick up treasures (points), fly back down to the starting point and repeat while avoiding enemies and projectiles. When the rocket flies near the enemies on top of the screen, the damaging shield on the tip of the rocket's nose turns on, allowing players to destroy enemies with it. Point values increase as players become more successful in destroying more than one enemy. Players have a limited amount of rockets to fly, and when all of them are destroyed, the game is over.
