Description

You play as a pilot in control of the Raven, a super-advanced experimental tank. The galaxy is being conquered by the Arcturan Empire, led by the scenery-chewing villain Gir Draxon. You must fight your way through seven different star systems (hence the title), each with its own environment and unique boss. Your journey culminates in a showdown with Gir Draxon himself on the planet Arcturus.
The Raven wasn't just a slow-moving turret; it was a tactical powerhouse. To survive, you had to manage several key systems:
- Energy Management: Your shields, weapons, and special abilities all drained a central energy pool. You had to find "power pods" on the battlefield to stay functional.
- Cloaking Device: One of the coolest features. You could turn invisible to sneak past overwhelming forces or set up an ambush, but it drained your energy fast.
- Jump Jets: The ability to hop over obstacles or incoming projectiles.
- Radar: You spent half your time staring at the radar at the bottom of the screen to track enemies zooming around your flank.
