Penetrator is a arcade minigame developed in 1984 by Degenatron. It is available to play in the Arcade in Grand Theft Auto Online.
Description[]
The game was previously available to play on an "emulator" on the degenatron.com teaser site for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City before being added as an arcade machine in GTA Online.
The game is a tube shooter, similar to Tempest, in which the player must shoot the incoming green squares by going to the correct column and shooting down with the red square. If a green square makes it past the red boundary, the game will display the phrase "PENETRATED!" and the player will lose a life. If the player loses all three lives, it is Game Over.
Challenges[]
In GTA Online, there are two challenges available in this arcade game. Special T-shirts will be awarded to the player if they manage to complete each one of them.
