Defend the Terra Attack on the Red UFO
Artic • 1981


Players team up in Defend the Terra Attack on the Red UFO, a two-player vertical shooter released by Artic in 1981. This early arcade game challenges players to defend Earth from an approaching unidentified flying object. Using two-way joysticks and a single button, each player controls their own defensive cannon, aiming and firing at the alien craft as it descends toward the planet. The gameplay focuses on precise targeting within a 224x256 pixel resolution screen showcasing a limited palette of ninety-eight colors. The game’s sound is produced by a tone generator alongside discrete circuits. It represents one of Uko's final releases before the company faced bankruptcy, and a bootlegged version known as "Exodus" also exists. Defend the Terra Attack on the Red UFO offers straightforward cooperative action for two players seeking a classic shooter experience from the early days of arcade gaming.
