Super Space Invaders is a Sega Game Gear game released in 1992. It is a top-down shooter game, where the player controls a spaceship and must shoot down alien invaders. The objective of the game is to survive as long as possible while dodging enemy fire and collecting power-ups. The game features five levels with increasing difficulty, each containing unique enemies and obstacles.

The player starts out with three lives, which are lost when the ship is hit by enemy fire or when it touches an enemy. At the start of each level, the player's ship appears at the bottom center of the screen and can move freely in any direction within a bounded area. Enemies appear from either side of the screen and move towards the center in various formations. To defeat them, the player must shoot them with their ship's laser gun before they reach its position. Points are awarded for each successful shot, and bonus points are awarded for shooting down multiple enemies in quick succession or destroying an entire formation at once.

Power-ups are also available throughout each level; these take various forms such as extra lives, shields that provide temporary invincibility to enemy fire, bombs that destroy all onscreen enemies in one blast, and speed boosts that temporarily increase the speed of your ship's movement and firing rate. Collecting these power-ups will help you survive longer against increasingly difficult waves of enemies.

At certain intervals during each level, a boss enemy will appear from offscreen; these bosses require more shots to be destroyed than regular enemies and often have additional attacks or abilities to make them even harder to defeat. If successful however, defeating bosses will award larger amounts of points than standard enemies would do.

Upon completing a level or losing all lives, players are taken to a score table showing how many points they achieved before being given another chance at survival by restarting from Level 1 again; this process repeats until all lives are lost or until all five levels have been completed successfully - upon which players receive an ending sequence congratulating them on their victory!
