Cerberus

Arcade Video game published 40 years ago:

A single-screen shoot 'em up that features a scrolling background.

At the beginning of each level, a laser bolt from the moon's surface hits your space station, sending fuel pods off around the screen. You must navigate your fighter, grabbing one pod at a time and returning it to the base. Hampering your efforts are enemy ships, which includes a type that will grab a fuel pod and fly off with it.

- TRIVIA -

Released in March 1985. This was the first game for the Cinemat system that Cinematronics had developed as its own "easily convertible" arcade platform. It was billed as the leader for the "new Cinematronics" after the company had stumbled following the release of Dragon's Lair and the laserdisc mania failed to materialize.

Robert Haukup holds the official record for this game with 101,500 points on June 27, 1985.
