Zektor is a shoot-'em-up arcade game developed by Gremlin Industries for vector-based G80 hardware.
Contents
Gameplay
Zektor is very similar to Atari's Asteroids, in that you pilot a starship which can move in any direction on screen, avoiding obstacles while firing at enemies. Unlike Astroids the aim of the game is simply to destroy enemies, which enter the arena from the top of the screen in waves. The game also makes heavy use of synthesized speech. The chipset and technique used for the speech synthesis in Zektor was also used in a number of other notable G80-driven SEGA arcade titles.
The alien commander from Space Fury appears as the level 8 boss, where he has conquered a city that resembles the Death Star. He even reuses the same synthesized speech as the first game.[1]
