Arcade Action
Arcade Action is a collection of five games which include:
Overtaker: The aim of the game is to drive up the screen passing as many cars
as you can in two minutes to get the highest score you can. You can move your
car left or right, and increase your speed but you can’t slow down and the
faster you drive the quicker your score increases. If you hit other cars then
you stop which also stops your score increasing.
Missile Man: Based on Galaxians, you must move your craft left or right at the
bottom of the screen to blast and destroy the aliens above moving left and
right. The aliens will drop missiles on you and occasionally an alien will
move down the screen. If you are hit by a missile or an alien then you lose
one of three lives.
Spacefighter Pilot: Your crippled Mothership is orbiting a planet but the
planet residents are firing missiles upwards to destroy it. You control a
crosshair at the top of the screen and you must move left or right and hit the
missiles. If your Mothership is hit too many times then it is game over.
Greedy Gobbler: In this Pac-Man clone you must move about a maze eating all
the dots while avoiding ghosts who are out to kill you. If you touch a ghost
then you lose one of three lives but there are four power-pills that can be
eaten to allow you to eat the ghosts for a limited time.
Extra Terrestrial: Your mission is to destroy the whole world before a timer
reaches zero. You move across the screen to the right above a map of the
world. Pressing keys 1 – 8 fires a missile and the number you press determines
the range of the missile.
