Gameplay
PegLeg is a shoot-'em-up arcade game.[1] Players control a space ship with a blaster that is used to destroy asteroids, projectiles, and enemies approaching the ship. The player can move freely within the world, rather than be constricted to a horizontal plane such as in Galaga. There are several blasters that can be used, which are earned by collecting randomly spawned pick-ups in each level. Points are earned for each object destroyed, and a bonus is earned based on how fast a player completes a level.[2]
Development
PegLeg was released for Mac computers in August 1994.[3]

Macworld awarded PegLeg its 1995 "Best Shoot-'em-up" prize. The magazine's Steven Levy called it "compulsively seductive even to a jaded alien-blaster with an arthritic trigger finger".[7]
