Back then a selection of the finest humans in the world went to an expedition to Jupiter's moon Io in search for valuable minerals.
They were attacked by an alien race that the player had to defend them from.
Now they have managed to establish bases on three more of Jupiter's moons, Callisto, Ganymede and Europa.
The alien threat is still real however and they still need to be protected by the player.
The gameplay is mostly the same as the original Dropzone although it features some new weapons and end of level boss fights.
The player controls a spaceman with a jetpack and can fly in all directions above the moon surface while killing wave after wave of aliens.
At the same time the player has to protect the ten people that are assigned to the moon by taking them to the dropzone landing pad.
The action takes place on the moons mentioned above as well as on Jupiter itself.
At the last level on each moon the player has to defeat a planet guardian.
To do this the player has to hit them in their glowing green nerve centre that is exposed at times as they move around.
Each wave starts with all remaining humans being beamed up by a leader enemy and to release the men it has to be defeated.
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks Dropzone (1984) for Super Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Dropzone (1984), suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Super Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
