Red Rat keep churning them out (more power to their
elbow!) so helping to fill the gap left by English Software, who are
no longer Atari's main British software producer.
ESCAPE FROM DOOMWORLD is a three-in-one action arcade game. A group
of leading Earth scientists are held captive on Doomworld and they
have to be rescued before their vital knowledge can be used against
us.
The first stage is like a platform game minus the
ladders and you move around the levels with the aid of some clever
jumping techniques. Various objects have to be collected before
moving onto the second stage. Here you take to the air in your
spaceship and some 'Choplifter' manoeuvres are required to pick up
all the scientists and drop them safely at your base. You stay with
your ship for the final stage where skilful flying is needed to
negotiate an assortment of columns and collect the three bombs which
will destroy the alien planet and result in the completion of your
mission.
DOOMWORLD starts off quite well but fades away as you progress
through the three stages. The first stage is the strongest one by
far and perhaps a better game could have been written based on that
idea alone?
Passable enough this one, but is it worth the asking price? Like
DOMAIN OF THE UNDEAD I feel it should have been a budget game. Maybe
you'd like to judge for yourselves?
