Independence Day Platform: Playstation 1 Region: USA Media: Disc Controller: DualShock Control Pad, System Link Genre: Action - Simulation Gametype: Licensed Release Year: 1997 Developer: Radical Entertainment Inc. Publisher: Fox Interactive, Inc. Players: 1 or 2 VS _________________________ This arcade game is based loosely on the 1996 blockbuster movie "Independence Day." Interspersed with cutscenes lifted from the film, the game consists of flying a jet through various missions in order to take down the gargantuan, city-destroying spaceships. This entails flying around the 3D level and taking out targets such as: communication uplinks, shield generators, the occasional alien fighter craft, and ultimately bringing down the major alien ship via a strike on its main cannon. Powerups are plentiful, such as medical packs that heal your jetcraft, bonus weapons, bonus planes, and an item that freezes enemy planes for a brief time. Mission settings include the Grand Canyon, Washington D.C., and New York City. There are other missions that are provided on a need-to-know basis (as stated in the manual). The game also features 2-player head-to-head action via a network or null modem link. http://www.mobygames.com/game/playstation/independence-day
