From the README

A browser tribute to Zarch (David Braben, Acorn Archimedes, 1987), later ported to the Atari ST and Amiga as Virus. You fly a hovercraft-style lander over a wrapping, tiled landscape. Seeders spread a red virus across the land and fighters hunt you. Stop the virus before it takes over.

The title screen plays the game by itself: a computer pilot defends the word ZARCH, written into the landscape, while the virus slowly eats it. The controls light up as the pilot uses them.
