Description from the packaging.

Grab your gloves, survival pack and headgear. There's no time to lose! Earth's last existing radar tower is under attack- without it, your Sidewinder Commandos are helpless against the invasion!

You're whoooshing into the most frenzied fight the far side of the galaxy's ever endured. You're the last copter force in existence. The rest? Wiped out! But they weren't Sidewinder Commandos- armed with missiles beyond the realm of Earthly tolerance. Your machine thrusts easily into Mach 10 speeds as you blast forward to crush the attackers. Now put your impervious whirling strike force to the test!

Soon you're out-maneuvering deadly battle pods, dodging destructive Stalker bombs and going head-to-head with alien Oblitojets programmed to disintegrate you!

To emerge victorious you've got no margin for error. You've got to fire furiously and make every missile meet its mark. Your one hope is your firepower's endless supply.

Sidewinder by Tronix. A hi-resolution video game written in 100% machine code for the VIC-20 with 10 explosive battle levels.

To survive you'll need all the help on Earth.
