Overview:
You are the commander of the only Gamma ship in this stellar field. The Vegan war fleet has taken control of your Gamma outpost planet and is defending it with Vegan laser pulse tanks. This planet is the only inhabitable planet in this star system, and you must stay there and fight the Vegans as long as you can.

Game Trivia:
Gamma Attack was the only game sold by Gammation and was offered only via mail order. Less than 20 copies are believed to have been sold, making it one of the rarest 2600 games ever released. Only one original cartridge is currently known to exist, although modern reproductions have been sold.
Instructions:
Move your ship across the surface of the planet and destroy Vegan tanks that you encounter. Destroying all tanks advances the player to the next level. Each laser pulse that your Gamma ship receives reduces your hovering altitude. When your ship crashes, the "Gammy" appears and your game is over.
Game Credits:
Designed and programmed by Robert L. Esken, Jr.
