Gates of Zendocon — About this game
Zendocon has trapped your ship in a network of hostile universes. Navigate side-scrolling passages, shoot attacking creatures and choose gates that lead to different areas. Your ship carries a laser and downward-falling bombs, but rescued alien allies add unusual attacks of their own. Damage strips away protection and weapons before destroying the craft. Alien bases offer repairs, though the landing platform’s force field makes timing essential. Watch the terrain as well as enemy fire and choose your route through the gates with care.
