Yars' Revenge
Play Yars' Revenge online on GBC. Breach the Qotile’s shield, charge the Zorlon Cannon and line up the decisive shot. You can shoot or eat shield cells, but the cannon fires across your own position, so a successful attack also requires getting out of its path.

Yars' Revenge — About this game
Yars' Revenge for Game Boy Color. Eat five cells or touch the Qotile to gather cannon energy, then return to the left edge when Yars flashes. Aim, fire and move away quickly. The neutral zone blocks ordinary Destroyer Missiles but does not protect against the Swirl, and you cannot fire from it.
