    Draconian (23-09-2017) (A2600 Game)

    SpiceWare updated their game Draconian. Your goal is to destroy the space stations on each level. Use the radar, located at the bottom of the screen between the score and lives remaining, to find the stations (green dots) in relation to yourself (white dot). Destroy the stations by taking out all 6 pods.

    Changes:

    Bonus Lives at 20,000 then every 70,000
    Jingle added to AtariAge Splash Screen
    Revised formation appearances
    * Sector 1 = I-Type only
    * Sector 2 = 50% I-Type, 50% P-Type
    * Sector 3+ = 37.5% I-Type, 37.5% P-Type, 25% E-Type
    Fixed condition where Red Alert sound effect would repeat in the menu
    Slowed down explosion sequences
    E-Types launched from stations will now collide with stationary objects
    Fixed bug where next level would start if you rammed the last station with your last star fighter
