Magic Micro Mission

TV-spin-off derived from the title sequence of the Central ITV series ‘Magic
Micro Mission’ broadcast in six UK regions in 1983 and 1984.

The first part is a simple cockpit-based shooter, with flying saucers zooming
past on elliptical paths from bottom left to bottom right or vice versa. You
aim to position cross-hair sights with the joystick to shoot these down as
they go by.

The second stage is a maze game similar to Pacman but set on a colourful
circuit-board grid, with three ‘chip’ sprites moving freely around the maze
and resistors moving up and down in four columns of the grid. You control a
robot which must wipe up patches of ‘oil’ regularly distributed across the
screen while avoiding the other moving components.
