Description: In TS Destroyer, you fly in the center of the screen, and objets fly toward you from the left; you must dodge or shoot them. At the same time, another spaceship is flying up and down to your right, taking shots at you.
In Space Raid, you control a gun that moves horizontally across the bottom of the screen. When a spaceship appears at the top of the screen with an alien inside, you must shoot a ‘hole through the spaceship and hit the alien in the left foot before a laser beam from the ship hits you.
Evaluation: I was very surprised by the high quality of these two games. Programmed in machine language, they have the speed and excitement found in larger 16K games.
The speed of movement in TS Destroyer is very impressive. Playing this game, I was so busy trying to dodge objects from the left that I failed to see the ship at the right shoot me in the back.
The Space Raid game is very similar to invasion Force. The computer graphic of the alien standing in the spaceship is well done. The descending laser beam from the ship is challenging to avoid.
Neither of these games prints a score. Usually I like to see a score after I’ve been shot, but in these games, it didn’t matter. For 2K game players, this tape is a must.
