Synopsis

Thanks to Earth's Star Wars defense system, there hasn't been a war in years. The problem is that a race of aliens is using the system to destroy eight major cities. The player, who plays Captain Nick Diamond, must pilot an EagleClassE751 above Earth and destroy aliens and satellites. By collecting 1000 points, Nick obtains an upgrade that allows him to use dual lasers. During the fight, Nick will be informed of the continent he is on.

Defcom is a 3D shooter with a third-person perspective from the back of the ship. Aliens and satellites approach the ship in the distance. Earth is visible at the bottom of the screen. By pushing the joystick to the left, the ship moves to the right and vice versa. Pressing the fire button triggers the ship's weapon. In the heat of battle, the player can press space and a menu appears. The player can then select a weapon, see its score or the energy of the ship and the cities affected. While paused, the player cannot shoot but can still be destroyed.
