The Orion Project is a single-player space shooter game published as shareware.
In this game, the player controls a spaceship that is controlled entirely with the mouse, although the game pad is optional. One mouse button fires thrusters, another fires cannons, while moving the mouse rotates the ship. The game area is divided into nine quadrants. The object of the game is to explore these quadrants in search of alien ships and communication devices. These must be destroyed to save the Jason Group on the Orion space station.
The share ware game is a limited four-quadrant version of the full game in which the objective is to destroy the aliens' main satellite.
