About this game

Alien Attack places a gun at the bottom of the screen with hostile craft above it. Slide into position, fire through the formation and move away when a dangerous part of the attack approaches your gun.

Choose Keyboard at the device selection screen to use the controls described here. Left and Right, or J and L, move the gun; Space fires. The original instructions also assign G to switch gun mode and Escape to quit.

Start by making short horizontal movements so you can keep a firing lane aligned with the aliens. Watch the score and speed readouts as play develops. When a round ends, answer the Play Again prompt with Y or N. The package includes other input choices, but these instructions follow its keyboard mode.
