You are the last chance for Earth, piloting a craft specially developed to engage these hordes.
You must fight your way through their defenses to the final goal, the alien base.
The final battle is about to commence! Halley Wars is a vertical scrolling shooter, and it's a sequel to the arcade game Halley's Comet .
The game has 6 stages set in locations in space such as, above planets or in asteroid fields.
There are end of levels bosses at the end of each stage each with their own weaknesses.
There are power-ups, which can be picked up along the way when you shoot particular asteroids or satellites.
These upgrade your weapon strength, speed, add explosive pods and shields.
Where the game stood out was, there are comets that need to be destroyed on your journey.
Each comet and ship that you don’t shoot makes it to earth and does some damage there.
Comets do more damage than the enemy ships do.
If Earths damage level reaches 100% the game is over.
For every 2000 points you score, 1% of Earths damage is repaired.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Halley Wars for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Halley Wars to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NES release dates back to 1989.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Halley Wars, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
