A collection of arcade games, three in machine code
and one in Basic. INVASION is a standard shoot 'em up with your view
from the cockpit of your craft as enemy ships approach against a
beautiful star scrolling sky. You have to shoot each of the 100 enemy
ships before they wear down your shields. NUCLEAR REACTOR is one of
those games where you have to wander about the screen collecting things
while avoiding the walls and the local guardian. In this case you need
to collect flasks and radioactive waste with increasing amounts on each
level. ERG is set in a long scrolling cavern studded with diamonds (or
something more exotic?) which you have to collect whilst avoiding four
guardians who float around. You have only limited time so keep your eye
on the timer which counts down to a detonation. Some nice graphics and
scrolling on this one. Last up is DIAMOND RIDE a one or two player game
with two players opposing or cooperating in the collection of diamonds
and other energy shapes. Two conveyor belts at top and bottom of the
screen are linked by two diamond lifts which you must use to ascend or
descend to the appropriate belt. The diamonds and energy shapes appear
only for a limited time so you have to make fast decisions about the
quickest route to each with plenty of changes when the diamonds
disappear just as you reach them.
Boot with Basic.
