Arcturus is a Zaxxon clone made by Bill Bies for the TI-99/4A home computer system. It was released during the first quarter of 1985 on a gaming cartridge. Unlike most cartridges for the TI-99/4 and TI-99/4A, this cartridge didn't plug into the normal spot on the front of the machine. It was designed to be inserted into the sidecar slot similar to the Speech Synthesizer.
Gameplay
This game has a unique perspective as the player controls a ship that shots on an angle and enemies swoop in from the opposite angle.
