Hello everybody this is ricardo and welcome to the next episode of retro
gaming today featuring zeners that melbourne house 1988 vertical scrolling
shooter computer games developed by the bitmap brothers and published by
melbourne house which was then owned by mastertronic it featured as a play by
phone game on saturday morning kid show get fresh in the UK the player assumes
the role as dairy in a future space pilot called into action by a made a
report from his superior as of late the colonies of mankind has been under
attack by mysterious and violent aliens called the zenite and it's finally time
for darien to engage them the game's story was only revealed in the games
instruction book so unlike most scrolling shooters the player can move
in a direction they're straight up and go backwards to other screen that they
may have gone through in the first place the player craft has to mow a flying
plane and a ground tank the transition between craft can be initiated or almost
any time during play except though during the mid and end of level box
sections certain modes are also forced now destroying some enemies will release
power-ups of the pea detach enhance their ship at least in GM and we have
seen big blue or a double board originally released for the atari st
then and was quickly ported to other platforming the Amiga the amstrad CPC
the commodore 64 ms-dos machines the MF x and the next spectrum an arcade
version of the game was also relief to have the chronic arcadia division which
run on a Commodore Amiga as the hardware
as you can see we're currently in tank mode making short work at all that
carrot that are popping up getting the multiple ball is all we handed that
increases our firepower now by changing into the flame mode we can expect
greater range that people know spirits that are up high then and I think truly
rod one of the first games out that really shows what the Atari acting to do
we are making short work of Paris now in plane mode
if you have multi direction initials and stores as well is virtually impossible
to visit gained without picking up any power up and the ones that are awarded
who make a hell of a lot of difference especially with this laser mode as well
that was the multi-directional no I find bits box exceptionally had to do and
undergo I know I the idea if you've got to shoot right in the middle right
between what looks like to be is mandible whilst avoiding all the desk
that hammers down upon you as well very difficult game is very difficult indeed
if i don't think i think it was coffee yet
like a second and setting anyway I found stabbed again so we're in the flight
mode now shooting around target and the little fella the fuck up its game is
turned into an Arcadian feels as well I'm starting up it's 15 great competing
and then as I mentioned earlier on based on Commodore Amiga hardware a bit put in
to arcade from the arcade i work in as a child the child at the young man i
should say they had one of these as well not only had them and that other games
as well that way links to a coin mech to have to be back they were the string key
more difficult than this game more than repair it they had secretly ratings get
the maximum out of many out of the toga
who is it scoffs against key as games we'll have to come back and have a good
look at this and perhaps then revisit this video as i do it but anyway I've
been Ricardo and it has been presented as part of a retro gaming theory thanks
very much for watching and check back for more videos soon
you
