Common as muck!

If you do get hit by an alien laser, your tank turns into the standard Philips man, all you do then is run under one of your bases and click fire and your back in a tank however the base disappears, so therefore you have 3 lives per screen not per game and if you can't beat those odds, you should seriously consider giving up gaming altogether. So we are led to believe in true 80s A-Team fashion our little man did an extreme makeover on the bunker (which incidentally was indestructible as a base by either your or the alien's firepower, but is a one-hit-wonder as soon as you make it into a tank. GAMEPLAY 4/10.
