A game where a space probe shoots lasers at tanks that also shoot lasers seems to be a cool game idea. A game like this is more of a game of survival, however. Laser Blast, as cool as it is, happens to be the most underplayed game in the entire collection. Perhaps since both Laser Blast and Megamania were both orange-banded, that I was not attracted to the color orange, or maybe I just found them strange altogether. I can bet there are several games that have used this same concept. Let the disco lasers fly!

In Laser Blast, you must shoot down the three enemy tanks below. The space probe/ship can move in all directions, and the laser can fire in different positions depending on the aim. The tanks that have the turrets up is the one that will fire the laser, and since it is hard to dodge, it poses a great danger. Every 1000 points earns a new ship. The game is over when all ships are lost.

To spice things up a bit, I had decided to use various techniques to fire at the tanks below. A lot of suprise shots here, too. I even managed to gain more ships even when I had one left. Dang, ten more points and it would've continued farther (and I would've had more than 10000 points)
