DSP-9 · ORBITAL ENTERTAINMENT PLATFORM · EST. 1988, REBUILT 2026
THREE CABINETS · PURE 8-BIT · INSERT COIN
Three arcade ROMs hand-built for a 320×240 tube: code-drawn sprites, WebAudio chiptune, power-on self-tests, attract modes and three-letter high scores. No dependencies, no builds, no downloads — just pixels and chips.
PICK A MACHINE, PRESS START. THAT IS THE WHOLE BUSINESS MODEL.
▶ PLAY
SECTOR 9 DEFENSE PROTOCOL
Alien waves march as one body, then peel off and dive-bomb your last line of defence. Bunkers erode. Every fourth wave sends a mothership with a health bar and a grudge.
▶ PLAY
DEMOLITION PROTOCOL
Paddle physics, cracked bricks, steel plating and seven kinds of falling powerup — ending in a gauntlet round that defends itself.
▶ PLAY
CROSS TRAFFIC PROTOCOL
Five lanes of traffic, five lanes of moving logs and submerging turtles, five home slots and one very impatient timer bar.
ALL THREE CABINETS, ONE BOARD. TOP 10 EVER SET ON THIS DEVICE.
EVERY SCORE LIVES IN THIS BROWSER. THREE LETTERS, LIKE 1979.
ARROWS / WASD MOVE · SPACE FIRE · P PAUSE · M MUTE · F FULLSCREEN · Q QUIT TO ATTRACT · ESC BACK TO ARCADE (TWICE MID-RUN — THE FIRST PRESS JUST PAUSES)
