The object of "Space Caverns" is to elude four maniacal aliens who relentlessly home in on your diamond-shaped ship. You can move the ship up, down, left, and right, but there is no escape from the dangerous caverns — you can only advance further into the depths, shooting the aliens before they clobber you. The aliens aren't dummies, either. They are fairly intelligent and will seek you out faster than you can run away. If you manage to defeat them in several successive rooms, you get a bonus round in which you stalk sedentary aliens that randomly appear around the screen. A countdown clock limits the amount of time you have to capture these aliens. When it runs out, you advance to a harder level within the caverns. After each game, the three highest scores flash on the screen, challenging you to do better next time.
