About The Game
Zektor is a 2-player, arcade video game shoot-em-up that tasks the player with the liberation of eight cities that have been seized by the evil cadre of alien robots. In order to liberate a city, you must defeat 3 attack waves of fighters and robo-probes. Fighters and robo-probes are often shielded (in red), and each consecutive hit reduces the enemies shield strength, until, when the shield drops, a hit will destroy it. In addition, you will encounter three types of Moboids :
- Green Moboids spin the players ship on contact, and bounce enemy ships.
- Blue Moboids bounce all ships.
- Red Moboids destroy all un-shielded ships (including the players ship).
After defeating three attack waves, the Alien Robot holding that city will reappear within rotating protective rings, through which a 'slot shot' neutralizes that Robot, awarding the player a bonus ship and advancement to the next round.
Trivia
The last alien is the alien from 1981's "Space Fury".
