Beamrider 1983 Activision
7Beamrider is a fixed shooter designed for the Intellivision by David Rolfe and published by Activision in 1983. The game was then ported to the Atari 2600 (with a slightly reduced feature set), Atari 5200, Atari 8-bit family, ColecoVision, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and MSX platforms.
Beamrider takes place above Earth's atmosphere, where a large alien shield called the Restrictor Shield surrounds the Earth. The player's objective is to clear the Shield's 99 sectors of alien craft while piloting the Beamrider ship. The Beamrider is equipped with a short-range laser lariat and a limited supply of torpedoes. The player is given three at the start of each sector.
To clear a sector, fifteen enemy ships must be destroyed. A "Sentinel ship" will then appear, which can be destroyed using a torpedo (if any remain) for bonus points. Some enemy ships can only be destroyed with torpedoes, and some must simply be dodged. Occasionally during a sector, "Yellow Rejuvenators" (extra lives) appear. They can be picked up for an extra ship, but if they are shot they will transform into ship-damaging debris.
Activision offered special Beamrider patches to players who could get to Sector 14 with 40,000 points and sent in a screenshot of their accomplishment.
Beamrider é um jogo de nave e tiro espacial lançado pela Activision que se passa acima da atmosfera da Terra, onde um grande escudo alienígena chamado de Escudo Restritor rodeia a Terra. O objetivo do jogador é passar pelos 99 setores enfrentando as naves alienígenas enquanto pilota a nave Beamrider que é equipada com tiros infinitos de curto alcance e um suprimento limitado de torpedos. O jogador recebe três destes no início de cada setor.
O jogo possui ao todo 99 fases, para avançar para o próximo nível, o jogador deve destruir quinze naves inimigas que aparecem na cor branca. Uma "Nave Sentinela" aparecerá então, que pode ser destruída usando um torpedo (se ainda restar algum), fazendo isso o jogador ganhará pontos de bônus. O inimigo tentará destruir a nave do jogador com tiros laser, bombas e vários tipos de naves, algumas só poderão se destruídas com torpedos, mas o jogador pode simplesmente desviar destes ataques. Ocasionalmente, durante um setor, "Rejuvenescedores Amarelos" (vidas extras) aparecem. Eles podem ser recolhidos para obter uma nave extra, mas se forem atingidos, se transformam em detritos e podem destruir a nave do jogador.
A Activision ofereceu insignias especiais do jogo Beamrider para jogadores que chegassem ao Setor 14 com 40.000 pontos e enviassem uma foto da tela comprovanvando a sua conquista.
