Once upon a time, three-letter demigods would etch their names in the high score lists of arcade games the world over. Defeating wave after wave of attackers, these heroes of another era possessed a skill that brought down the most sophisticated machines of the day. Their hand-eye coordination was a wonder to behold.

Alas, as the great arcades fell to ruin and rust, so did the masters. Forced into mundane worlds of management and simulation, they became slow and dim-witted; the skill of the true gamer rarely tested... until now. Sol Attack is a blistering HD arcade game for the PC.

Have serious fun battling an array of ships throughout the Solar System in a frantic attempt to stop a massive alien invasion, but be warned: This is not some pansy little feel-good shooter that holds your hand all the way to the final screen. This game acts like you're plopping in quarters. It wants you to lose.

Sol Attack Demo contains the first two zones. The complete game includes six zones and a wider array of enemies. Coming soon.
