Rob Plays "Anarchy" (C64)
7A brief play (with commentary) of Anarchy, a 1987 release by Hewson (on their Rack-It label) on the C64.
I played this one a little bit back in the day - when I borrowed a compilation from a friend which it appeared on.
It's quite a fun little puzzle/action game. The fact you're limited to a short period of time to clear out the levels does a great job of putting time pressure in, plus the fact that enemies can only be disabled, not destroyed only adds to the challenge as well.
One I may have to go back to again in the future I think :)
Also, I should drop a quick plug for the Kickstarter (currently running at the time of recording) by them on a book about the early days. Should be quite an interesting read - check it out at: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/robhwson/hints-and-tips-for-videogame-pioneers
