Gorf is an arcade game released in 1981. The game was later ported to home computers, Atari 2600, ColecoVision, and Atari 5200.
While the original arcade version has five missions, which includes a Galaxians mission, it has been left out of the home versions due to copyright issues.
Gameplay
Gorf consists of four missions per level.
- Astro Battles: The player must shoot the advancing army of aliens as they slowly descend toward Earth.
- Laser Attack: The player must shoot down two satellites that periodically shoot down laser beams at you while also destroying their escorts.
- Space Warp: The player must shoot at aliens swirling their way through a wormhole in space.
- Flag Ship: The player must chip away at the Gorfian flagship's outer hull to breach its nuclear reactor core in order to destroy it.
Notes
This game was to be followed by a sequel called Ms. Gorf, which was never released.
An arcade-perfect homebrew adaptation of this game was created for the Atari Jaguar CD, but was removed from the market because the author neglected to secure any permission from the copyright holders.
