Gameplay
Escape from Arcturus is a game in which the player can either try to survive as long as possible while defending against unstoppable hostile alien bases, or evacuate inhabitants from the planet while aliens attack.[1]
Reception
Bob Boyd reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "The high score for each mode is saved on disk which is a nice feature. The graphics are good in the "Fortress" mode and outstanding in the "Escape" mode. As current arcade games go, however, Escape from Arcturus tends to be a little simplistic."[1]
