Paris Attack is an Atari 2600 game in which players must defend the headquarters of the National Science Centre from an alien attack. The aliens have been alerted by their spies and have launched a surprise assault on the headquarters. Players have six Laserbases to protect their Centerbase.
The objective of the game is to prevent the aliens from destroying the Centerbase or the Laserbases. If the aliens successfully attack the Centerbase, one of the six Laserbases will be destroyed quickly. The same will happen if the aliens directly attack the Laserbases.
Players can control the direction of the launched projectiles by pulling the joystick. Paris Attack offers two different game modes and supports two players.
