Description:
Tac/Scan is a very unique game in that you control just how many resources (in this case, ships) are put into play. You start with seven individual ships in play. Those ships can be lost in any of the three stages by hitting a tunnel, getting shot, or hitting the enemy. You are able to "collect" and earn these ships back as the game progresses. You can drop down to one ship in the game, but still have four "back-up" ships (but do not loose the one ship in play, otherwise your game is over). This is unique to other games that give you ships sequentially.
In the first stage, you pilot your ships through wave

In the first stage, you pilot your ships through waves of attacking enemies. You can either fire upon them, or "tac" your ships around them. The second stage is much like the first, except that it is from a 3-D perspective from behind your ships. In the third stage, you pilot your ship down a space warp tunnel. You will lose any ships that touch the side of the tunnel.
