Summary
You are from the planet Choom in the Thwok solar system, which is under threat from a group of seven crazed dictators and their intergalactic war. Can you fight them all off in this fusion of side-scrolling shooting and top-view fighting?

You'll have to find planetbusters to gain access to the bunkers which contain nerve centres.
