Gameplay
The original version of Moon Shuttle from Nichibutsu is a scramble- like shoot-'em-up game. The player controls a spaceship in the form of a space shuttle that flies to the right on the screen while the background moves to the left. It is the player's task to shoot down everything that appears on the screen in several levels. In intermediate levels, the user has to cross a meteorite field undamaged with his spaceship by shooting his way free. In the home computer version of Datasoft, the playing field is turned 90 degrees to a vertical shooter. Otherwise the gameplay is the same.
