Arachnoid

Overview

Blast giant wasps with a mechanical spider as at jumps. a bionic spider (half tarantula, half machine) designed by the government in the early 19903 to ward off attacks of giant African killer wasps. Part of a class of computer-controlled robo-spiders used for defense.

Giant killer wasps are headed this way and it's up to you to stop them. You're prepared, though; Equipped with a joystick controlled model A500 Arachnoid, you have the potential to knock out an entire swarm of angry insects.

But wait! Radar reports not one, but nine swarms of wasps, spaced at ten-mile intervals. To complete your mission, you'll have to blast each and every bug out of the sky, wave after wave. So grab a joystick, power up your computer, take a deep breath, and fire! You've got a serious insect problem to take care of.
