Goals
The objective of each world is to shoot the flashing boxes to activate the landing pad. Once accomplished, safely put down on the flashing pad and it’s off to the next area. Apparently you're a busy starship fighter, off to another local almost as soon as you land.
Basics
Similar to other shooters of the time period, Poltergeist moves horizontally and wraps around the screen, so it’s your call whether you go left or right. Each ship comes equipped with six shields and you’ll die once they are gone. Move your ship in any direction (left, right, up, down) by pressing the corresponding key and shoot with the fire button.
Weapons
You will find flashing sticks scattered throughout the worlds. By shooting these items, your weapon powers increase (current power is indicated by the flashing icon at the bottom of the screen). To activate the weapon, press the ‘1’ key. Try all of them, as they each offer distinct advantages. When in real trouble, use the space bar to unleash the freak bomb, blowing up everything on screen.
Tip: Weaponry
Build your weapon power-ups until you have the necessary firepower. Each level offers different challenges and the weapon choice can make things significantly easier or harder.
Tip: Scoring
Earn extra points by blasting the fuel depots, gun turrets and alien ships.
