NOTE: Subject to changes!

Synopsis
The S.S. Exadon is a starship build with the capability of traveling through both time and space, and you and three other players are enlisted as turret gunners aboard it. The ship travels through eight strange new worlds on its maiden voyage, and you must use your remote-controlled laser gun turrets to blast away at obstacles and hostiles! The turrets also have deflector shields for defending against enemy fire, so be ready to "return to sender"!

Gameplay
The objective of Super Gunners is to operate a remote-controlled laser gun turret to defend the S.S. Exadon from incoming obstacles and enemies. The turret has a pair of high-powered laser guns and a deflector shield for deflecting enemy fire. Targets left untouched long enough would cause damage to the Exadon's shield energy. If it reaches 0%, another hit from an unharmed enemy would result in a Game Over. The shield energy can be replenished by shooting "S" icons that sometimes appear on the screen. Each player's reticle has a score counter built in and lights up when locked onto a target. When the deflector is in use, the reticle turns into a shield icon. Lining the deflector up with enemy projectiles will send them away.

Controls

 * Joystick - Aiming

Hardware
The hardware used in the game is based on the ColecoVision console, but with enhancements to the memory, processor, sound (to accommodate digitized voice samples recorded for the game), and most especially, graphics capabilities. The input device used by the players in the game, is a modified Super Action Controller. The modified controller has had its leaf switches changed out for microswitches, and each controller is numbered and color-coded for each player, along with the purple and blue triggers and the speed roller removed. The game is played in a small, theater-type unit that accommodates up to four players at a time, and is projected onto a large screen in front of the players.

Trivia

 * The theater-type setup the game used is inspired by Namco's Galaxian 3: Project Dragoon.
