The Cyber Galaxy is threatened in the year 6038 by an evil Emperor years after he tried and lost the war for the Galaxy. You play as Prince Troma who has been sent in his spaceship to the Emperor's star system to destroy all his forces over 16 levels. You have a laser to fire, but there are several platforms scattered throughout the levels that give you power-ups, including lasers that fire in multiple directions, a protective orb, and the ability to slow down the enemy. You'll face waves of aliens and must dodge them and their bullets or lose one of three lives. You must also avoid any structures or obstacles or you lose a life. Each level must be completed within a time limit and you receive bonus points if you die or complete a level.
Task III is a vertical scrolling shoot-em-up viewed from above with control of your ship similar to Uridium where you control the speed of your ship and can rotate the ship to fly in the opposite direction as the screen scrolls where you move. The game is for one or two players and each player takes turns when the other loses a life. The joystick is used to control your ship.
