Erebus

HISTORY OF THE EREBUS GAME

The planet Erebus has been developed by Earth into a giant refinery to convert its waste into useful gases and chemicals and is fully automated with rare human interaction. It has been noted in recent times that the nearby planet Hadebus, Earth's sworn enemy, has been sending spacecraft to Erebus. Further investigation has discovered that the Hadeans are using the refinery to produce a toxic nerve gas that can wipe out the human race.

You have been chosen to fly through various levels of the refinery and destroy the alien ships to save humanity.

Game cover

The game is a horizontal shooter viewed from above with the screen scrolling left or right as you move. You must destroy any alien ships you encounter while dodging them or their weapons, and if you are hit, you lose one of your three lives. Touching any of the scenery or buildings also loses a life. Each level is made up of sections surrounding a dimensional duct and you must fly over each section to open the duct. A small map of the sections is shown at the bottom right and when each section is green, the duct will open. You then play a bonus game where you are on the left of the screen and alien ships fly in from the right.
