Flying Saucers is a fixed shooter video game written by Robert Arnstein for the TRS-80 and published by Radio Shack in 1979.
Gameplay[]
The object of Flying Saucers is to destroy as many alien saucers as possible in the allotted time.[2] There are three types of saucers: large, small, and a super saucer that destroys all visible saucers when shot.[1] There are score penalties for shots that don't hit anything and for letting a saucer escape.[1]
Reception[]
Glenn Mai reviewed Flying Saucers in The Space Gamer No. 39.[2] Mai commented that "Overall, Flying Saucers is OK. However, I cannot recommend it because there is a better game with the same name (and price!) on the market, Air Raid".[2]
