T-Bird

HISTORY OF THE T-BIRD GAME

Players control a Foourd T-Bird, a transport system capable of high speeds of up to 1346 mph. Their job is to destroy swarms of aliens, including flying saucers, tie fighters, space jellyfish, unidentifiable blobs and the like, and dodge their fire. This can be accomplished by shooting them with the standard zapper or by using a smart missile to destroy everything in sight.

At the end of each level, players must destroy a guardian to move on to the next, and smart missiles cannot be used to destroy them.

HOW TO PLAY THE T-BIRD GAME
