Arcadrome, PolyEx’s freshman shareware game offering for Mac OS X, is a bit of arcade-style action that’s the gaming equivalent to a popcorn movie—not a lot of substance, but a lot of fun anyway.
Arcadrome’s story involves the classic conflict between humans and aliens—even the developer acknowledges the hackneyed storyline in the game’s description: “Aliens are going to capture planet Earth (as they always are).”
You’re the captain of an armed spaceship, and it’s up to you to save mankind (of course).
Your job is to visit the aliens’ vehicle launching site—the Arcadrome—and capture their energy crystals, leaving them without a fuel source.
Of course, this mission isn’t covert—you’ll be facing armed resistance right away.
