    Dark Planet was shown at the 1982 AMOA show and released in January of 1983 but only in limited numbers.

    The game was programmed by Jurich (see 'Staff' section for more information) and was one of two video games he ever made. The other was a pool game for the IBM PC Jr.

    Scott Young holds the official record for this game with 9,954,900 points on March 1, 1983.

    Rail rovers: 100 points.
    Fighters: 100 points.
    Laser trains: 10000 points.
    Burning one bunker yields: 10000 points.
    Burning all three at once: 50000 points.
