Along the way, a robotic voice heckles and threatens the player, often calling the player by his current rank for example, "Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet! Some versions also display the player's current rank via a series of lit panels in the cabinet. Gorf is well known for introducing or popularizing two new features to the video game market. Its most notable feature is its robotic synthesised speech, powered by the Votrax speech chip.
Gorf was one of the first games to allow the player to buy additional lives before starting the game. Most games offer a predetermined number of lives usually 3 and allow the player to earn additional lives throughout the game.
Gorf, which was usually set to offer two lives per coin, allows the player to insert extra coins to buy up to seven starting lives. Only the game logic and ROM boards are specific to each game.
Gorf was originally intended to be a tie-in with Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but when the game designers read the film's script, they realized that the concept would not work as a video game. The level is a top-down view, with the player's ship and shield on one side and the aliens on the other side; this level bears the most resemblance to Space Invaders. The second level called Laser Attack is made up of a formation of ships, with some that swoop down and a laser that fires at the player's ship.
Bonus ships also tend to appear in this level. The third level is called Galaxians , and as the name suggests it is very similar to the game Galaxian with ships constantly dive bombing the player's spaceship. This mission only appears in the Arcade version. The fourth level called Space Warp , has the player entering hyperspace.. The viewpoint switches from a top-down view to a behind-the-ship view. One by one, alien vessels will come out and fly in a circular formation shooting at the player's ship with the players goal being to destroy each one.
The fifth and final level is called Flag Ship. In this level, the player does not fight a wave of enemies, but a single one which happens to be a large Flag Ship with a weak spot which is its core. Hitting the weak spot will instantly destroy it, but the player must first shoot through a similar shield that the player had in the first level.
Finishing the game increases the player's rank and starts the game over at level 1 with a faster game speed for more challenge.

This was a favorite game in high school, after Asteroids, Defender, Battlezone and Robotron.
Included are the weird voice synth that is missing in the downloadable version I think my high score was over k and I gave in due to cramps. Keyboard is much prefered.
