Synopsis Drop Ship is one of the smoothest and fastest arcade games you are likely to see. It features superb 256 colour graphics, 15 increasingly large and diverse stages and an excellent stereo soundtrack. The year is 2020....The government proudly announces that the new fast breeder farm on the Mars colony is completely computer managed and totally safe, defended from attack at all times by a fully-automated tactical defence system. The year is 2030....Earth receives a transmission from the Mars colony. The radiation seems to have affected the management software at the fast breeder farm. The defence systems have gone haywire and the whole farm is rapidly approaching meltdown. If all the reactors are not shut down the Mars colony will be wiped out.... Shut down can only be achieved by removing and collecting the power crystals from each reactor. An almost impossible task made even harder by the fact that the defence systems are blowing away anything that moves. The defences include gun emplacements, artificial gravity generators, sporers and hoards of deadly aliens. What is needed is a craft which is supremely manoeuvrable, capable of great speed and possessing awesome firepower, and a pilot of extraordinary bravery to fly it. The craft is the Drop Ship..... |
