The player travels through a tunnel where creatures such as bats, toads, rats, and spiders move toward the player with distinct animated behaviors, and in the 48K version a silver underground train appears at the tunnel’s end with visible lights and passengers as it rushes past. The player attempts to line up targets within a depth effect created by concentric squares while firing a single‑line laser, advancing through waves either by defeating enemies or by selecting later sequences from the available game options, which also include multiple joystick choices.
