In this clone based on the Targ arcade game, you control a vehicle that shoots ships on a grid. This isn't as easy as it may sound, since they can turn corners a lot, plus you can't reverse direction unless you're at the very edge of the grid. Occasionally a special vehicle will materialize and go straight for your car, so watch out for that one.

That's basically it, but then the vehicles start shooting, avoiding your fire, shoot more often and chase you more frequently as well once the levels start progressing.

Dondzila pulled out most of the stops on this one, giving you the ability to skip out on the intro for every level, awarding you several extra cars AND a pause button. The graphics aren't bad, the sound is even better, and the controls work fairly decently too. And like Dondzila says on his site, you need some steady nerves for this one.

Oh, just don't ask me how it compares to Targ, I've never played it...saw it once, but didn't play it. I should have...
