Difficulty: Not changeable.
CAUTION: Flashing lights.
A decent mix-up of the Star Wars trench battle and Space Invaders. Strangely, your ship resembles a TIE Fighter rather than an X-Wing. Shoot down the enemy ships and watch for a couple UFOs to appear. Hitting either of the UFOs will bring out a bonus target in the distance that begins at 500 and counts down. Keeping your ship near the far end of the trench will cause your speed score to increase faster.
Take care when going for the bonus target. When you hit it, there will be a bright flash that obscures everything for a moment.
