Hey kids, you know what time it is? it’s Gamecast time! This MSXdev regular enrolls with another MSX1 title. An old-school-style arcade shooter played out in the space region of Titan, a moon of Saturn. It is an exciting cosmic battle, in which the player is to strategically position their spaceships in order to blast the attackers into oblivion, reminiscent of arcade classics such as Super Cross Force.

On the Titan moon base, your mission is to defend the frontier from Saturn’s alien assaults. You have the opportunity to pilot two spaceships: one horizontally and the other vertically. Confront your UFO adversaries and obliterate them with your lasers to amass points and perhaps surpass the record on the scoreboard at the top of the screen.

Italian developer Andrea Gasparrini is a coding dynamo, an authentic 8-bit warrior who has earned the title of grand-slam game developer through his dedication to MSXdev gaming entertainment. With his latest title Titan Ufo he once again proves that the 8-bit MSX system can do marvels.

Steer your ships using the cursor keys or a joystick in port 1. Aim and shoot while exclaiming, “Take that, you alien freaks!” by using the fire key (A) or the space bar for the horizontal player ship, and the fire key (B) or the GRPH key for the vertical player ship. Press the F1 key to unlock the game. A manual is included in the payload.
