SWOOP (Micro Power) Galaxian ripoff for Commodore 64-gameplay
One of those early games I owned and probably one I bought from the indie record shop in the market. Interesting game this one, adds two things to Galaxian that make it a bigger challenge.
1. When shot the enemy turns into a flaming ball of fire for a second or so, if you touch this flaming ball of fire AFTER you shoot them you still die.
2. If they get past you they lay an egg and you are trapped.
Hmmm shame really as these detract from the gameplay but apart from the rubbish looking graphics the movement is quite smooth and quite playable. Would make a good Galaxian engine!!
Ho hum, enjoy my dear friends and subscribers!
(I did a video for Z by Rino Marketing and Mindscape's US version of Afterburner but the video sizes are huge so I am not going to upload them from work as I think they will notice half a gigabyte of data uploads!!)
