Project: Starfighter is an old school 2D shoot 'em up game.  In the game, you 
take on the role of a rebel pilot named Chris who is attempting to overthrow 
a military corporation called Weapco.  Weapco has seized control of the known 
universe and currently rules it with an iron fist.  Chris can no longer stand 
back and watch as millions of people suffer and die.  He steals an experimental
craft known as "Firefly" and begins his mission to fight his way to Sol, 
freeing key systems along the way.  The game opens with Chris attempting to 
escape a Weapco patrol that has intercepted him.
