Deep Space: Operation Copernicus

Deep Space: Operation Copernicus is a video game in the action genre developed by Lerner Research and published by Sir-tech Software, Inc. originally released in 1987. It is currently playable on DOS, Apple II, Commodore 64.

The year is 2123. The genetically programmed warriors of the Andromedan Hegemony are making the first moves to enforce their government's greatest desire: the takeover of the fantastically rich new mines of the United Planets of Solaria in the Asteroid Belt. On Earth, capital of the United Planets, military and political leaders are beginning frantic efforts to gather human and material resources to fight the alien attack.

There is a knock at the door of your home. You open the door and are half-surprised to see that your visitor is a messenger robot, painted in the distinctive colors of the blue and white uniform of the Solarian Armed Forces. He registers your palm print on his signature pad, then passes you a sealed file container. Without opening it, he knows it contains a draft notification and briefing material. In a few hours he'll be in the cockpit of a Katana single-seat interceptor, perhaps fighting for his life against the invading Andromedans....

So the stage is set for Deep Space - Operation Copernicus. As the pilot of a Katana warship, you'll choose from four missions that will test your skill and tactics flying - and fighting - among the debris hurtling into the asteroid cluster known as the Trojan Cluster. Survival depends on you!
