Gorf/Gameplay: Difference between revisions

The destruction of the Flagship is the ultimate goal of the final mission.  It has one single weak point, a single channel at the bottom of the ship that leads directly into the reactor core of the ship.  The only way to take the Flagship down is to fire a shot directly into the core.  The Flagship moves back and forth while slowly lowering itself closer to you.  When it reaches its own barrier, it begins to rise again.  As you shoot the ship, pieces of it begin to break off.  You must avoid getting hit by those pieces or shoot them before they reach you.  As you break holes into the ship, you can expand the channel that leads to the reactor core until it's wide enough to hit more easily.  The Flagship is one of the earliest examples of the 'boss' enemy in mainstream video games.
