Attack UFO

Ryoto Electric’s Attack UFO challenges two players to defend against an alien invasion in this 1980 shooter and gallery game. Players utilize a two-way joystick and single button to maneuver their defensive cannons and target unidentified flying objects appearing on the vertical screen. The gameplay focuses on precise aiming within a limited pixel resolution of 176x184, requiring careful coordination between players as they attempt to destroy incoming threats. The game’s custom sound chip provides accompanying audio during the action, complementing the visual presentation utilizing a palette of sixteen colors. Attack UFO presents a straightforward cooperative experience where teamwork is essential for success against the relentless alien assault. The title itself references the common term for extraterrestrial phenomena—unidentified flying objects.
