Outworld is a single-player science-fiction themed arcade game. The player's city is under attack by alien invaders and meteorites. Protecting the city is a strong shield, and the player's own weaponry. In the Apple II version, the player controls a small rocket turret in the center of the screen, and must launch off rockets to shoot down attacking forces. In the Vic-20 version, the player moves a crosshair to blast incoming dangers. In both versions, if the shield protecting the city takes a sufficient number of hits, and the city below is penetrated, it is game over. Goal is to maximize score, and the wave of incoming offworld attackers becomes progressively more difficult as the game progresses.
