Pollux is a vertical scrolling shoot ’em up released for the Arcade in 1991 by Dooyong. Set in the 22nd century, you take control of a space fighter pilot tasked with destroying the enormous automated space station “Pollux,” which has gone rogue and started attacking humanity. This version is the alternate ROM set 2 of the original arcade release.
How to Play
As a classic vertical shooter, navigate your ship through various sci-fi environments while avoiding enemy fire. Use the arrow keys or D-pad to move, and the main action buttons (Z/X in the browser) to shoot and deploy bombs. Collect power-ups dropped by enemies to upgrade your ship’s speed, add auto-fire, or switch between weapons like homing missiles and cross-space lasers.
