The premise, in the publisher's words

Take a classic arcade game. Add a whole heap of seasoning in the form of stylish, state-of-the-art graphics and four massive levels of up-to-date action. Stir in an alternative dimension, exquisitely evil aliens and a heavy-sprinkling of mucho-big guns 'n' power-propped planes. Leave to simmer on an incandescent heat and wait for the best blast in light years. Top down vertically scrolling view! Choice of three difficulty levels! Fully rotating ray-traced enemies!
