Gameplay
editFlying Saucers is a game in which the player has a limited amount of time to destroy as many alien saucers as able.[2] There are three types of saucers: large, small, and a super saucer that destroys all visible saucers when shot.[1] There are score penalties for shots that do not hit anything and for letting a saucer escape.[1]
Reception
editGlenn Mai reviewed Flying Saucers in The Space Gamer No. 39.[2] Mai commented that "Overall, Flying Saucers is OK. However, I cannot recommend it because there is a better game with the same name (and price!) on the market, Air Raid".[2]
