Characters

 * CJ
 * Edison
 * Aliens

Description
Edison comes out of the rocket while CJ uses a chart for five aliens to land and a yellow column to shoot and defeat the aliens in an arcade-styled game. Five aliens land on the planet and the planet will be invaded. There's a yellow column to shoot and defeat the aliens. The little aliens come down and the shooting and defending the planet. The player uses the land cruiser to shoot the aliens. The voice of the hint determines which planet for CJ and Edison to go. It is at the top of the clubhouse.

The voice gives a hint to go to one of the nine planets of the Solar System (as Pluto was still considered a planet when this game was released) except for Earth. Once the planet is chosen, the rocket will blast off and it will fly to it.

CJ says the dialogue and says, "Welcome to Mercury/Venus/Mars/Jupiter/Saturn/Uranus/Neptune/Pluto." CJ and Edison are on any planet except for Earth. Edison is out of the rocket and CJ is holding a chart for five aliens and a yellow column. The land cruiser can shoot up the aliens.

Three of them are different and they fall through the sky invading the planet. The land cruiser must shoot to fire it back up.

The lookout is like an attic and it has a sky for a rocket to fly. CJ and Edison are in a rocket and it will blast off to any planet. The three robotic aliens never invade Earth.

CJ holds the sign to what it says for any planet. Edison comes out of the rocket while CJ holds the chart as a land cruiser comes out. When the robotic aliens are shot by a laser beam when back up. When five aliens landing on the planet, it will be invaded. The laser beam says "Good Job!" when the planet is completed.

Controls
