*** Demon Attack (1 or 2 players) *** Imagic Demon Attack Game Program Instructions Marooned on the ice planet Krybor, you watch legions of eerie creatures scream overhead. They hover ominously. They give you no quarter. Attack and destroy them, or be destroyed! Armed with your Laser Cannon, you confront the ultimate challenge: SURVIVE! OBJECTIVE Destroy demons and accumulate points before you and your LASER CANNON meet with oblivion. Keep RESERVE BUNKERS intact and increase their number by avoiding your foes' fire. When the last bunker disintegrates, the next enemy hit will pulverize you! GAME PLAY Your LASER CANNON has unlimited firing power. Dodge left or right to avoid enemy fire while pursuing aliens. Accumulate RESERVE BUNKERS (bottom left of screen). You begin with 3. Each attack wave you survive completely unscathed earns you an additional bunker, to a maximum of 6. Every hit you absorb destroys an additional bunker. When all bunkers disappear, another alien barrage will vaporize you. HAND CONTROLS Your JOYSTICK CONTROLLER allows you to manuver.

REQUIRMENTS:
Our Atari 2600 emulator utilizes Javascript to run in your browser. No plugin is required, but a fast modern web browser will enhance the game play.
Emulation on mobile devices will drain your battery quite fast. I recommend playing while device is plugged into charger.
