Galactic Patrol

Galactic Patrol is an arcade game divided into five phases.

The player is the commander of a Starfighter in the Galactic Patrol, valiantly transporting colonists to their Starfleet ships.

In phase 1, the player controls a crosshair to try to shoot down rapidly moving alien vessels as colonists try to walk slowly across an open field to the awaiting transporter on the right of the screen. The game tracks how many colonists reach their destination.

In the remaining phases the player controls a starfighter from a behind perspective that moves in all directions.

In phase 2, the player tries to protect the transporter as alien vessels hurl themselves towards it to deplete its defensive shields.

In phase 3, the transporter runs out of energy and the player must dock with it to transfer the colonists.

In phase 4, the starfighter has to navigate Starfleet defences by dodging force walls and the deadly Searcher.

In phase 5, the player has to finally dock with a Starfleet ship to deliver the colonists to safety.
