A.L.C.O.N (Allied League of Cosmic Nations), also known as Slap Fight, is a vertically scrolling shooter developed by Toaplan. Millions of years ago, an alien race built the artificial intelligence Goudy to advance science beyond imagination. With time the AI revolted against its makers, contaminating the galaxy with evil influence across 300,000 light years. But Goudy's days are finally numbered when a lone warrior boards the Leopold, a faster-than-light spacecraft!
