This hybrid of strategy and shoot-'em-up requires you to protect your convoy of six ships from attacking aircraft.

At the beginning, a yellow circle appears on the screen. In the middle, your ships are clustered around an aircraft carrier. From the edges of the screen missiles come speeding towards you. From your carrier you launch planes to intercept the attackers before they obliterate your fleet. It sounds fun, but it isn't. The ships are black dots, the missiles red dots and the planes green crosses - not the most realistic graphics.

Defeat the missiles and you get to see the second screen. It's no better. Now you have to combat enemy planes in a struggle reminiscent of Asteroids. Again the graphics are very boring. Convoy Attack is one of those games in which death is preferable to glory.
