Pleiads (Tehkan) — About this game
Pleiads (Tehkan) takes the Earth Spaceship through four stages of an alien attack. Martians first threaten the city and build barriers that must be shot away. The flight then faces space monsters and a battleship whose protected chambers open during the attack. After those encounters, the ship must pass other craft in a landing corridor and return to its base. Each stage changes the immediate target while preserving the basic task of lining up the ship and firing through the opposition.
