Gameplay

Protector II is a game in which the player has to use the needlefighter ship to rescue people from a city being attacked by aliens.[2]

Reception

Allen Doum reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "The graphics are good, and the sound, animation and scrolling are very well done. Play may begin with either three or five ships at any of six difficulty levels —although I doubt that anyone is expected to play at the higher levels. Even at the lower levels, Protector II moves fast enough that most players won't have time to realize that what they're doing doesn't make much sense."[2]
