Earth is being invaded by the evil K'caj clan, and you as the Galactic Commander Frank Drexor must defend the most important sector from the invaders. The enemy ships have tractor beams and energy disruptors, which can cause your cannons to reflect back at you! The fate of the Earth is in your hands.
Backfire is a homebrew game for the Atari 2600 by Chad Lare, in which you control two guns, at the top and bottom of the screen. Be careful not to shoot your own ships in this exciting and unique game for the Atari 2600.

Comes with cartridge and full-color manual.
