## The game

The game is a shooter in which you have to re-assemble your ship's parts and
fill it with fuel, all while killing enemies that keep popping up. The controls
are as follows:

## License

The original game was developed and published by Ultimate Play the Game and
released for the ZX Spectrum and VIC-20 in 1983 and the BBC Micro in 1984. Thus,
the original idea is not mine, and I only did the porting to the NES/Famicom
platform.
