Protect your cities from hostile missiles, intercepting them by firing your own rockets which explode into fireballs. This requires skilful manipulation of your rockets as you only have three anti-missile bases, each containing nine rockets.
Some missiles contain multiple war-heads. These disperse at a fixed height, showering the ground installations with more missiles.
To complicate the situation still further, intelligent missiles exist which avoid your fireballs and come down to destroy your cities or bases. Also beware of the satellites and planes which fly across the screen firing at your cities.
You are awarded a bonus city for every 10,000 points scored.
