Another story holds that the bay was named after HMS ''R ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gameplay ''Repulse'' is a fixed shooter game reminiscent of ''Space Invaders'' and ''Phoenix'', in which the player controls a laser cannon by moving it across the bottom of the screen and firing at robotic enemies and descending alien spaceships through six stages, five of which host a boss at the end that must be defeated in order to progress further.
