A port of RayForce mainly based on the game's Saturn release, Galactic Attack (also known as Layer Section in Japan).

A supercomputer goes mad and destroys/rebuilds Earth in its own, distorted image; with nothing of nature remaining. As a result, the few humans who could escape join forces to destroy the machine - and consequently, the now-unsalvageable, infected planet in which humanity was born.
