More great games in machine language and Basic
including some of those incredible German games that seem to set new
standards in Basic programming. Top of the class is MISSION X, a
helicopter exploration of a cavern system with some excellent fine
vertical scrolling. The three machine language games include BOMBERS, a
simple 1 or 2 player game in which a canyon is bombed by plane and
balloon to see who can score the higher, RAMBUG II, a novel game in
which insects are exterminated with an electric beam and SCORPION, a
Tempest type program in which your scorpion must clear a grid
exterminating the spiders before they spin their webs to the perimeter.
Other games are EGON, platforms and ladders collecting gold and covering
all the floor area, DDDLABY, a three-dimensional labyrinth and maze and
MUNSTER, a pacman variant with a strategic element added making it
difficult to decide which order to gobble the dots. To round off there
are a couple of angle worms/ caterpillar games that are a little
different from earlier versions and quite playable. Another fine games
collection.
