Gameplay

You guard a fortress made of several rings of wall against aliens that dive straight into it. Your defender walks along the outer wall and shoots them as they come. Each hit weakens that wall, and when it starts to flash it is nearly gone: cross the bridge to the next ring in time, or the game ends. Large super aliens can wipe out a whole layer at once.

History

The same game was sold under several names in the early 1980s: Wall-Defender from Bomb, Break-Down from Dynamics in Germany, Capture from Goliath / Hot Shot in Hong Kong and Wall Break from Home Vision.
