Based on the adventures of the popular Marvel Comics character, Silver Surfer pits you in the role of everyone's favorite space traveler versus the forces of the Magik Domain. Use your cosmic powers to blast away at your enemies as you fly through two types of intermittently changing perspectives (horizontal side view and vertical bird's-eye view). Once you've fought through the forces of Reptyl, Mephisto, Emperor, Possessor and Firelord, you'll finally make it to the Magik Domain where the infamous mutant Mr. Sinister awaits.
Your old master, Galactus, has summoned you, Silver Surfer. But this time his message is for the good of life -- or so it would seem. According to this devourer of worlds, there is a new threat known as the Magik Domain that has the power to destroy all life in the universe, including his own. With some of the galaxy's most powerful supervillains in on it, only bad things can result. It's up to you to retrieve the Cosmic Device and save all life in the universe.
