The Island of Dr. Destructo is a single screen shooter for 1-2 players

You have just seven days to prevent Dr. Destructo from carrying out his evil plans and launching a massive global attack.

Your mission is to destroy the Dr. Destructo and his island stronghold in just seven days. The buildings and fleet of the Destructo Empire are destroyed from the impact of shot down air and space craft, or by the bomb which is allocated to each player per screen. Each impact will remove a small section of the ship, island or building. When the missing sections amount to a gap through to the base, a leak is created and a water spout is formed. Most objects needthree leaks in order to be successfully destroyed.
