Back in the days of the old 386 PC, I loved games like EGA Trek and Star Trek, Judgment Rites. UFO, The Vorton Invasion is a similar space combat game written with Microsoft's XNA Game Studio. I wrote the music specifically for the game and recorded it at M&M Recording Studio. The textures for the planets in our solar system come from NASA's website.
The year is 2114. The evil Vortons fromTau Ceti have invaded every star system within 12 light years of Earth. As the Captain of the Star Destroyer U.S.S. Olympia, you must eliminate this threat before the Vortons can complete their conquest. The Olympia is equipped with Ten Gigaton Phase Torpedoes, a 198 PW Pulse Laser and the new Nova Burst weapon to help you defeat their agile and fast moving saucer ships. These saucers, nicknamed UFO’s after the acronym used in the mid 1900’s and early 2000’s, have powerful missiles capable of destroying the Olympia in only a few shots and travel in armadas of up to thirty ships. The Vortons have constructed Bases in some of the systems. The Bases produce new saucers and must also be destroyed. Once you have defeated the enemies in a system, take time to explore. UFO, The Vorton Invasion accurately simulates most of the major objects in our Solar System as well as the known and imagined objects in the other star systems.
