Squad 51 vs. The Flying Saucers is a 2D shoot 'em up where you travel back to the 1950s and turn UFO ships into space rubble.

A group of extraterrestrials called the Vega Corporation one day visit earth to provide unlimited resources to earth to help the human race endure. When the darker side of the corporation rises to the surface and an uprising begins, Lieutenant Kaya and the rest of the squadron band together to stop Vega and its ruthless leader Director Zarog.
