Only the game logic and ROM boards are specific to each game. Gorf was originally intended to be a tie-in with Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but when the game designers read the film's script, they realized that the concept would not work as a video game. The level is a top-down view, with the player's ship and shield on one side and the aliens on the other side; this level bears the most resemblance to Space Invaders. The second level called Laser Attack is made up of a formation of ships, with some that swoop down and a laser that fires at the player's ship.
Bonus ships also tend to appear in this level. The third level is called Galaxians , and as the name suggests it is very similar to the game Galaxian with ships constantly dive bombing the player's spaceship.
This mission only appears in the Arcade version. The fourth level called Space Warp , has the player entering hyperspace.. The viewpoint switches from a top-down view to a behind-the-ship view. One by one, alien vessels will come out and fly in a circular formation shooting at the player's ship with the players goal being to destroy each one.
The fifth and final level is called Flag Ship. In this level, the player does not fight a wave of enemies, but a single one which happens to be a large Flag Ship with a weak spot which is its core.
Hitting the weak spot will instantly destroy it, but the player must first shoot through a similar shield that the player had in the first level. Finishing the game increases the player's rank and starts the game over at level 1 with a faster game speed for more challenge.

Reviewer: johnthegaymer - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - October 18, Subject: Gotta get me back in Time An amazingly faithful emulation of the original. This was a favorite game in high school, after Asteroids, Defender, Battlezone and Robotron.
Included are the weird voice synth that is missing in the downloadable version I think my high score was over k and I gave in due to cramps.
Keyboard is much prefered. When UI see him I will punch Gork strate in the fukiin mouth talkin and talkin ande talkin im not even real mad but just shut up alwrdeey. Reviewer: turkeydog - - December 29, Subject: Frustrated Can't get the ship to move or shoot. Reviewer: hansalfaone - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - September 27, Subject: Solid!
Great emulation. Question - can you plug a joystick in and use it? If so, I'll go buy one. Reviewer: paulmar. Although game responds satisfactorily, there is poor choppy or fragmented sound.
Good game from the 80's but bad sound. How to correct this? I don't know Was a great, and I mean great! IT's still getting hung up during the emulator launch.
Any ideas? Reviewer: Flyer - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - April 19, Subject: How to play To play the game, click on the image with the power symbol, make sure you enable the sound once the software has loaded.
Then: 1. Press '6' key once for 3 ships, twice for 6 ships 2. Press the '1' key for one player haven't tried two 3. Then use the arrow keys to move your ship around 4.
Press the 'ctrl' key to shoot 5. Reviewer: justingifford - - April 15, Subject: No shooting Can't review the game or see if it stands up to my memories because there is no fire button, although the arrow keys appear to work to move my ship around. Press "6" then press at screen "1" for One player start. Great game and brings back loads of memories! This is the final stage before the game starts over at a higher difficulty level. The player has to shoot through a shield first in order to begin attacking the flag ship.
As the ship starts taking damage, pieces of debris fly off from the ship, which can destroy the player's ship upon contact, although the debris can be shot for points. All versions are missing the Galaxians game, since it would require a second license, as Namco originally made Galaxian.
No saucers or bonus Gorf robots appear on Astro Battles, as well as a shield. The invaders also look different, as one row is made up of small Gorf robots. There are far fewer enemy ships on the Laser Attack wave, plus their attack patterns are different and they move a lot faster. The player also can only move left and right on all screens, not up and down or diagonally, and the game is for one player only. Players can choose from several different skill levels.
The shield on that level also doesn't allow players shots to go through, plus with the infamous controller, the player's ship darts around the screen very quickly and is hard to control. During Laser Attack, the ships dive-bomb faster and have slightly different patterns as sometimes they dive in a straight line, which they do not dive in a straight pattern in any of the other versions. The first wave is called Space Invaders, which the invaders suddenly appear, with no Gorf robot putting them in place first.
The invaders also look different, move independently rather as one formation as on all other versions and they are spaced out differently. On Laser Attack, the attack patterns are different, there are no long-range lasers fired during the first round, and many of the ships stay still without attacking. The Black Hole wave was rename to Firebird, which has no onscreen indication on how many ships are left. In between each wave, a brief status screen appears that gives the high score and tells of the name of the next upcoming wave.
During Astro Battles, the Gorf robots come out much more often than on any other version. On Laser Attack, the flight patterns are different the ships and Gorf robots mostly dive-bomb as an entire group at once and is glitchy with the way the enemies jump around on the screen. Polygram made a version of Gorf for the Atari for the South America market.
