Alien Invaders approach the solar system from their interstellar battle platform, named Fortress Balangool. Under the command of the Master Control, named L-Brain, the Invaders defeat Earth’s space forces. Only one hero, Captain Commando remains to defeat the alien armada by entering Balangool and fighting through the various sections until reaching Section-Z.

Typically this consists of traveling through a scrolling corridor and reaching the end where a new direction must be chosen. Captain Commando’s abilities are shooting directly left or directly right while moving around the screen.
