Emulation
This game works with: Mini vMac

An original arcade game lying somewhere between Space Invaders, Centipede, and Zoop. Like Shufflepuck Café (which this game predates by three years), it's played against aliens in a seedy cantina.

For the 2006 Geometry Wars clone, see GridWars.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k

Incompatible with Mac OS 7 and up.

I couldn't mount the .dsk file in the 2nd upload with Virtual CD/DVD Utility, Toast, ShrinkWrap nor Disk Copy 6, to extract/examine its contents. Is there any other program under Mac OS that can mount it?

Edit: I guess it's because it's a 400k MFS disk, like what was explained to me here. DiskDup+ will recognize it, ~~though I have no idea how to actually mount anything with that program (nor with Disk Copy 4.2 for that matter).~~ Just figured it out.

Using the previously cracked upload and my own original uncracked disk, I was able to make a bootable disk image (boots with Mini vMac, anyway) which is now included in the second archive above, together with the game's documentation in PDF.
