Trading ships have not been reaching your planet recently. It is feared that ships passing through a an outer area get caught in a war between two distant alien races. In an attempt to communicate with the crew of these ships your world has found that communictions throughout the solar system have become silent.

Recent stories have told of a death-black shadow engulfing systems. Now that shadow, the Shadow Master, is coming to claim your world. For Shadow Master to have power he destroys anything organic. It is your mission to take control of a space vehicle and clear 16 levels set over seven different worlds.

  Manufacturer's description:

This all-action arcade-style game combines ‘blast ’em up’ excitement with puzzle-solving elements against a unique background. Based graphically on the designs of artist Rodney Matthews, Shadow Master takes place within seven distinctive worlds. Your mission is to protect your planet from the dictatorship that is stripping the resources of all the planets in your system. Slowly you discover how the dictator has perverted all forms of life on the planets, turning them into mechanical monsters.

Believing attack to be the best form of defense, you are confronting the enemy in his own domain – on the planets he has already taken over. As well as offering very different terrains and environments, each world presents different challenges in terms of the opponents you must defeat. And as you graduate through the worlds, these opponents become more gruesome. You must battle your way past spiders, tryphids, dragons… then confront and destroy the ‘evil one’ to save the universe.
