Death or Glory is a multidirectional scrolling shooter developed by Wise Owl Software and published by CRL Group in 1987 for the Commodore 64 (and 16 and Plus/4), ZX Spectrum, and Amstrad CPC. The player pilots a space ship and encounters an alien invasion that they then have to defeat. The game received average to negative reviews.

Gameplay

The player pilots a "spacedozer" destroying empty space stations,[1] and asteroids from space highways.[2] The player is given work orders to investigate a remote location that turns out to be an alien invasion.[1] The player is forced to engage the fleet before it arrives at their home island planet of New Stratford.[3]

The player pilots a spacedozer that they use to destroy individual alien ships or pieces of alien mothership.[4][3] The player can use the fire button to drop bombs and rip through the mothership's hull or ram enemy ships to destroy them.[1][5]
