The simplistic gameplay and lack of variety will soon have you reaching for the off switch. Read Review

You aren't going to faint with surprise or amazement at T-Bird, but you won't regret parting with your measly cash for it either. Read Review

Full Instructions
T-Bird
Introducing the latest in personal transportation. The Foourd T-Bird (r). Capable to 0-600 in 5.6 seconds and with a maximum speed of 1,346mph, it is equipped with the new and revolutionary ABS (Automatic Braking System), Megaghettoblast In-Car Entertainment centre (50 watts per channel) and the ultimate Anti-Traffic Warden bolt-on weaponry.
Excerpt from the official Foord T-Bird Brochure.
Game Info
So there you were, pulling up outside your local Foourd dealer in your clapped out Laader 100L complete with free-flowing air intakes, (rust!) for a test drive.
However, after taking a wrong turn, you find yourself in the middle of the local alien communities. And they are not too happy about you being there!!!
You must fight off the alien attacks against you, using only your skill and agility (and the bolt-on weaponry sent to you courtesy of Foourd).
To collect the weapon that is indicated on the panel, simply run into the pod that comes towards you.
Not collecting a pod will advance the weapon indicator.
A pod is only awarded when all the attacking aliens have been destroyed.
Weapons
-
Spinner
This constantly tops your energy up. -
Side Arm
This fires sideways. This will only kill aliens that are directly to the left or right of your ship. -
Hyperspace
Makes you invincible for a period of time, destroying all aliens and meteors. -
Extra Missile
Self-explanatory. -
Extra Life
Self-explanatory.
Eventually you will reach the end of the alien ghetto and come face to face with the great big mother of a ship that is used by their leader. This will take many hits to destroy it although you cannot use missiles.
You may think that all this is too much for your puny senses to bear so Foourd, in their ultimate wisdom, have included on the T-Bird an anti-collision shield. However, this only has a limited energy cell, and each collision drains it.
Holding down fire will fire a missile.
This will destroy all aliens or meteors on-screen.
