_________________________

The discovery of rich mineral deposits on Saturn's moons has made our solar system one of the most hotly contested areas in the galaxy. An evil despot has bought one of the moons and installed a powerful reactor. Unless he is given control of all the moons, he threatens to blow up the reactor, irradiating all the minerals and making them worthless.

Enter the Jet-Boys, an elite security force protecting the Saturn system. Armed with their jetpacks and laser guns, they must now face the despot's organic and mechanical minions, enter his space fortress and destroy the reactor.

Jet-Boys is a horizontally scrolling scrolling shoot 'em up. The player takes control of a Jet-Boy and must destroy wave upon wave of enemy warriors across four levels. Power-ups fly across the screen allowing the Jet-Boy to upgrade his weapons, shields and gain extra speed. 

Every enemy destroyed counts towards a timer. At the end of each level, a boss enemy must be destroyed within the time limit gained during the level.

The can be played by two players simultaneously, each controlling one Jet-Boy.

Description from the packaging  (US) :

The Battle for the Moons of Saturn!
As top gun for the Jet-Boys- the elite star-troopers of Saturn- you're the first person chosen for this most dangerous mission.

And there's no greater need for your skills than right now: The dreaded Megabeasts have taken over a nuclear reactor on one of Saturn's moons. In just a few hours, they'll detonate the core, which will not only destroy the moon, but wreak havoc on the entire Saturnian system.
You must stop the galactic terrorists by deactivating the reactor. Sounds simple enough until you realize the entire moon is swarming with mechanical and biological Megabeasts.

And they're using you as target practice! Your visor reflects the criss-cross glows of needle-sharp laser beams that seek to vaporize your jetpack. You wonder if you'll survive- much less succeed!
Two factors brighten the dim outlook. One, you don't have to go at this tough assignment solo. You can ask a fellow Jet-Boy to slug it out with you. Two, Solar Command has dropped weapon pods ahead of time. Get at them and you can increase your firing rate, providing yourself with life-saving shields.
It's time to stop daydreaming and save the moons of Saturn before it's too late!

Play this exciting shoot-'em-up-in-space game by yourself. Or team up with a friend to battle the Megabeast terrorists together.

After surviving waves of deadly attacks, you've come face-to-face with Level 1's Master Megabeast. Destroy it or be destroyed.

Level 2 of four increasingly difficult levels. They'll test whether you get going... or whether you're gone!
