Independence Day PLAYSTATION PS1

This arcade game is loosely based on the 1996 hit film "Independence Day." Interspersed with cutscenes from the film, the game involves piloting a jet plane through various missions in order to take down the gargantuan spaceships that are destroying the city. This involves flying around the 3D level and eliminating targets such as: communication uplinks, shield generators, the occasional alien fighter, and finally taking down the main alien ship via a hit to its main gun. Power-ups are plentiful, such as medpacks that heal your plane, bonus weapons, bonus planes, and an item that freezes enemy planes for a brief period.

Mission settings include the Grand Canyon, Washington DC, and New York City. Other missions are provided on a need-to-know basis (as outlined in the manual). The game also features 2-player head-to-head action via a network or null modem link.
