Philips Videopac 18 Lazer War

Dive into the heart of the United Planets Interstellar Galactic Empire in Philips Videopac 18 Lazer War, a groundbreaking game collaboration by Philips and Magnavox for the Odyssey 2. As a player stationed at the Battle Control Central, located 43 billion light years away, your mission is to defend the twin solar systems of Terien and Lorien from an impending invasion fleet.

Equipped with remote-controlled battle cruisers, you'll navigate the cosmos using a joystick to control your ships and an action button to unleash powerful lasers. The invasion fleet poses a dual threat, targeting both players and the planets. Shot planets change colors and fall under enemy control when matching the invaders' ship colors.

Adapt and strategize as your ship faces destruction; a new one will launch from planets sharing your color. Beware of collisions with planets of different colors, as both ship and planet will be obliterated. Only the central planet at each orbit stands indestructible. Hide your ships on friendly planets to evade enemy fire, and watch as planets with landed ships blink in anticipation.

The ultimate goal? Be the first to destroy ten enemy ships and claim victory in the cosmic battleground. Experience the excitement of interstellar warfare and strategic conquest in Philips Videopac 18 Lazer War – a timeless classic that challenges your skill and cunning in the vastness of outer space.
