(14/30) Global Defense

This is the Master System version.

A horizontally scrolling shooter where you control a defence satellite shooting out enemy alien artillery, which is headed for Earth.

You aim with a cursor in order to target enemy objects and you can hold the A button to instead move your satellite around and out of harm's way. The B button is for shooting, which fires out rapidly without having to tap the button over and over again.

There are 10 stages which alternate between offensive and defensive halves, the former being the scrolling stage and the latter having a single screen where you try and stop enemy artillery slipping past you. The object of the game is to try to destroy as much of the enemy as possible without them doing any damage. You get special bonus points for defeating all the enemies perfectly.

Text is quite easy to read on the small screen and you only need to hold the button to shoot rapidly so it's really nice to play on this.
