The goal is to fly a spaceship to Saturn, then destroy as many Satans as possible. Additional bonus points can be accumulated by destroying the comet or attacking dragonflies. An additional spaceship is rewarded if the players score reaches 5,000 or 10,000 points. If the attacking UFOs or enemy rockets are destroyed points will be scored. The game progresses through 4 different screens.
The arcade cabinet has one joystick to move the spaceship left to right and guide the missiles.
The game ran on the SNK 6502 arcade system board.[5] Other games that ran on the same hardware include Sasuke vs. Commander (1980), Vanquard (1981) and Fantasy.[5]
The Zarzon upright arcade cabinet appeared in the 1983 film Joysticks.
