Independence Day
About the Game
This arcade game is based loosely on the 1996 blockbuster movie "Independence Day." Interspersed with cutscenes lifted from the film, the game consists of flying a jet through various missions in order to take down the gargantuan, city-destroying spaceships. This entails flying around the 3D level and taking out targets such as: communication uplinks, shield generators, the occasional alien fighter craft, and ultimately bringing down the major alien ship via a strike on its main cannon. Mission settings include the Grand Canyon, Washington D.C., and New York City.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Another notable element is 2-player head-to-head action via a network or null modem link.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes Same/Split-Screen, Free-for-all / One-on-one (VS), and 1-2 Players.
