Plaque Attack , released in 1983, is an action-packed arcade-style game where you must protect a mouthful of teeth from various edible enemies.
The objective of the game is to shoot incoming foods before they can decay the teeth at the top and bottom of the screen. As the toothpaste tube controller, you'll need to defend against hamburgers, hot dogs, gum drops, strawberries, donuts, ice cream cones, and more that will appear from the sides of the screen. If a food item reaches a tooth and lingers for too long, it will decay and vanish from the screen.
Gameplay involves timing your shots carefully to blast the approaching foods before they can harm your teeth. As you progress through the game, the pace quickens, and the variety of edible enemies increases, making for an exciting challenge.
