A multi-level shooter game.

The game revolves around a robot named Hotot, who has discovered a alien missile base hidden on his planet. These evil blue aliens are using Hotot's planet as a launching site for their deadly warhead which is posed to destroy the galaxy's power source. With the help of the mysterious Gorfons, the native yellow birdlike race, Hotot must destroy the rocket, disarm the warhead, and prevent his planets destruction.

TRIVIA

Unreleased prototype.

According to Warshaw, Saboteur was complete and just about to be released when Atari decided they wanted to change it into The A-Team. Why Atari thought Saboteur would make a good game for their A-Team license is anyone's guess, but it was due to this that Saboteur got shelved indefinitely. Sadly, The A-Team was never released either.
