Weapons hot. Stars ahead.

Project Magellan sends one or two players through ten high-speed stages filled with enemy formations, hazards, and overwhelming firepower. Its horizontal action rewards positioning as much as quick reactions.

Ten arcade stages built for constant forward motion
Tracking missiles, spread shots, star bursts, energy torpedoes, and particle lasers
Nine upgrade levels for each weapon family
Two-player simultaneous play and a ten-song soundtrack
