Who will survive this intergalactic duel?
Triton Catalog - Spring 1985
Challenge either the computer or another human opponent to an epic space duel. A belt of multicolored meteors separates your outpost from your enemy's. Your goal is to destroy the hostile ships and outpost before your enemy destroys you. Send a purple satellite deep into enemy territory with your deflector beam. You can even launch your own protective barriers, turning them into deadly "ship-hunting" drones.
