Probe 3

Overview

Probe 3 is a shoot 'em up played from a fixed third person perspective. The game uses pseudo three dimensional graphics where enemy space ships start far off and move towards the player's craft which the player views the back of. The player's controls are limited to moving left and right and shooting. To hit an enemy the shot has to be timed so that it strikes when it's at the correct distance. The attackers come in waves and to defeat a wave twenty of them have to be destroyed. Beneath the player's craft is a blue planet and in the second and subsequent wave there will be missile attacks from the planet surface. Every attacker that player let's past will land on the surface and increase the amount of missiles that are launched. Missiles have to be dodged since they can't be destroyed.

The British and French box fronts are practically identical, except for the fact that the French box front has a blue stripe on the top.
