The game's conflict was based off the Preachers' war with the Cybermen in Pete's World.

Plot

Paris is controlled by the Cybermen and it's up to the people of N-Space to rescue civilians while destroying the Cybermen on the road by taking control of an Airship. Among the civilians are scientists, when they are rescued, the airship receives slight repairs, or the shots are more effective or stamina of these decreases. On your mission, you are guided by Mickey Smith.

Civilians are rescued in three stages (or levels), five, then seven, then fifteen. During the final level, flying bombs must be avoided, before the destruction of a building. The EMP or standard shots can destroy it it is written using the EMP. Once finished, a video is launched with Mickey saying: "You did it, you saved Paris. Goodbye!".

Controls

To move the airship, the arrows are needed. To rescue civilians, it must lower the ladder the using the spacebar. It is possible to destroy the cybermen with two ways, either by clicking the cursor in the direction of the Cybermen, firing an energy blast, or in the case of several cybermen use the EMP pulse using the E that destroys all the Cybermen in the are. It is possible to pause the game by pressing P, press H for help.
