DESCRIPTION

Space age game for those brave enough to face the alien menace. You and fearless hero Brad Zoom must battle wave after wave of slimy alien creatures who ooze and slither down the screen looking for a quick lunch. Comical graphics and clever sound effects make Better Dead as much fun to watch as it is to play.
