Moon Alien Part 2

A frantic two-player shooter, Moon Alien Part 2 tasks players with defending Earth from an alien invasion originating on the moon. Using a simple two-way joystick and single fire button, each player maneuvers their spacecraft across the screen, targeting waves of descending extraterrestrial creatures. The game presents a vertical display, utilizing a limited color palette to depict the lunar landscape and approaching enemy formations. Gameplay involves strategic firing to eliminate aliens before they reach the bottom of the screen. As players progress, the alien attacks become more intense and complex, requiring coordinated teamwork to survive. Moon Alien Part 2 builds upon the foundation of its predecessor, offering a challenging cooperative experience for two simultaneous players. Released in 1980 by Namco/Nichibutsu, this upright cabinet game runs on a Zilog Z80 processor and features a 20-inch CRT display with a resolution of 224 x 256 pixels.
