The player operates a rocket-powered hovercraft whose mission is to destroy an enemy transfer beam that is protected not only by long-distance enemy raiders and mines, but also molecular disorientation that sucks the energy from the player's attack craft.[1]
The player may control the hovercraft in either a normal joystick operational mode or with vectored movement. When the player pushes forward on the joystick the hovercraft accelerates, and when pulling back on the joystick, speed decreases.[1]
Power! was reviewed in 1988 in Dragon #135 by Hartley, Patricia, and Kirk Lesser in "The Role of Computers" column. The reviewers gave the game 4 out of 5 stars.[1]
