WHAT DOES PROVOCATOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Provocator

Provocator is an award winning shoot 'em up computer game developed for the Acorn Archimedes range of computers. It was the first game by Network 23 and was published in the summer of 1991 by C.T.S. to critical acclaim. The game requires the player to protect a massive convoy of space craft as they pass through 32 waves of alien occupied territory. It combines similar game mechanics to Defender with a setting reminiscent of late 70's TV show Battlestar Galactica.
