Play Vanguard II Online
Dodge alien fire in all directions while bombing floating platforms—hit the core just right to watch the whole thing explode. Feels like classic arcade chaos, but the controls actually keep up with the action.

Game Overview
Vanguard II kicks things up a notch from the first game—instead of crawling through caves, you're blasting through the skies above Earth. Your ship handles way better now, moving in eight directions instead of just four, which makes dodging enemy fire feel way smoother.
You'll weave between floating alien platforms, bombing pods while fending off attacks from all sides. The trick is to clear enough pods to expose the core, then hit it hard to blow the whole thing sky-high. It's simple but surprisingly tense—one wrong move and you're toast.
Definitely feels like an arcade game from its era, but the controls hold up better than you'd expect.
