Jim Lewis's Java Targ Game Page
Last update 2/6/2014


Welcome to my Targ Game page. Back in the '80s I wrote this game in TMS9900 assembly language on my TI 99/4A while I was attending college at Lamar University. In the 90's I wrote it for OS/2 - Presentation Manager and then again in Java in 2009. I have just recently made a few updates and it should be a little easier to play now.

The object of the game is to destroy the enemy Targs before they ram your ship. Use the spacebar to fire your missile. Note that you can fire only one missile at a time.

After you destroy all of the Targs you move up to a new level where they "get smarter" and are a lot harder to destroy. If you can get to level 8 a Bonus number will appear, email me a screenshot and I will include it on this page.

Game play:

  • Use the arrow keys to turn your ship
  • Press the spacebar to fire missiles
  • F3 will pause the game

If you can't get your ship to move or fire try clicking somewhere in the game window with the mouse.

I appreciate all comments, both good and bad.

Send email to me here.
