Killer Comet

Defend against an onslaught of invading ships in Killer Comet, a two-player shooter released by Centuri in 1980 under license from Game Plan. Players maneuver their ship using an eight-way joystick and fire projectiles upwards to eliminate the approaching enemy vessels that populate the screen. This early arcade title presents a straightforward challenge as you work cooperatively or competitively with another player to achieve victory. The gameplay centers around strategic positioning and precise timing, given the restriction of upward firing only. Featuring sound generated by an AY8910 chip alongside MOS Technology M6502 processors for both main game functions and audio, Killer Comet provides a simple yet engaging experience reflective of early 1980s arcade design. With four buttons available for player control, it offers basic but responsive gameplay.
