This game actually predates the founding of Static Soft. A port of the PC-8001 game by Takanari Suzuki (pen name: Geimu Kyouji), it was Hwang Geonsun's first success at the Samsung 3rd Software Competition, where he won a runner-up prize.
The player has to protect the city from an alien invasion. Starting with a single alien mothership, the player's efforts actually make the situation worse at first, as each destroyed enemy splits into two smaller ones, until the last form is defeated. A barrier keeps enemy bullets at bay for a time, but it is neutralized quickly.
Unlike most SPC-1000 games, Lunar City SOS gives players the choice between both the color and monochrome screen modes, making the best use of each.
