P'RADIKUS CONFLICT (NINTENDO NES)

One day, the peaceful nation of Lextorians discovers the planet P'radikus, where many uncivilized tribes are constantly at war with each other. When they steal a spaceship and begin to expand their wars across solar systems, you are trained by the ancients to end their rule and destroy the home planet with a secret weapon known as "Thunderbolt".

Using the thrusting movement typical of Asteroids games, you travel through space with your spaceship to restore peace by force. Starting as a recruit, many enemy ships must be destroyed to earn credits which can be exchanged for fuel, armor, weapons, shields, and warp engines. The commander gives you specific missions, such as destroying outposts or liberating alien groups. However, your ultimate goal is to find the Toson Drive, the only device powerful enough to reach P'radikus. To spice things up, there are many weapons such as shockwaves, mines, missiles, cloaking devices, and atomic cannons. As your fuel constantly runs out, you often have to orbit new planets to refuel and stockpile weapons.
