Paladin

Paladin is a video game in the action genre developed by Triad Software and published by Triad Software originally released in 1983. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

Players pilot a spaceship through space inhabited by aliens, and below the ship is a terrain where several human prisoners reside. The aliens, who also fire projectiles at the player, head towards the terrain and attempt to abduct the prisoners by taking them to the top and then killing them. The player must prevent this from happening by shooting the aliens and catching the falling prisoner with his spaceship. If the player fails to catch the prisoners before they reach the ground, that prisoner will die.

As in Defender, players must keep an eye on both the action and the map at the top of the screen in order to avoid any approaching danger. In addition to the lasers that the player can use to kill the aliens, smart bombs can be activated that eliminate all aliens in sight. Once all humans have been saved and all aliens have been killed, the player moves on to the next wave, in which new aliens are introduced and the difficulty level is increased.

If the player comes into contact with any of the aliens or their projectiles, he loses a life. If the player has no lives left, the game ends.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
