CompatibilityWarbirds is reminiscent of the old Phoenix game found in the arcades. It has always been one of my personal favorites, along with Galaxian and Pac-Man.

The aim is to kill the Master Alien in wave 5. You do this by shooting the mother ship's lower defenses and by shooting holes in its moving defense belt, so that your fire can reach the Master Alien. Beware! The mother ship is guarded by small warbirds...
