3  -Program Description-

Earth is under attack again by hideous, evil aliens (who knew?).  It is your job to pilot a new prototype ship and use its weaponry against the alien hoards.  The game is set up so that there are eight or nine levels, with three stages per level.  Each level has 15 enemies (which come in six different types, each stronger than the last.  Stronger ones appear as levels progress), but the program only deals with five at a time.  Enemies swoop into position and then move horizontally across the screen, shooting at you as they go.  Each enemy has its own coordinates and pattern of movement, and its own firing system.  Each time you destroy an enemy, a new, identical one swoops down to take its place until you have destroyed all three enemies that follow that particular path.  After two waves, you have a third wave identical to the first, but with a "boss" called a Blood Cruiser.  It shoots homing projectiles at you, but your laser cannons can blast it to pieces.  You need to destroy the Blood Cruiser at the end of each level to progress to the next.  If you are hit by an enemy shot, you lose 1 shield point (located in the far right pixle column).  You have 64 shield points per life, and you have six lives.  The game is hard and addicting, and you will need all of the lives you can get.  You can have 8 of your shots onscreen at one time, but you cannot simply hold down the fire button.  I have never beaten my own game, so if you find any bugs, please inform me.  I have included the .z80 and the .eza code for your convenience.  Please modify for your own needs.
