This is a remake of one of the maker's favourite side scrolling shooters from the eighties. The game plays like the old Vectrex version of Scramble (the best!), but looks like an Atari 2600 game. Also, the landscape is constructed randomly each time you play. It's not amazingly random, but enough to spice things up :) The objective of the game is to reach and destroy the enemy base at the end of the city maze. You earn points simply by staying alive and you recieve an extra life at 10.000 points. Shoot the green fuel pods for additional fuel; your spaceship will crash when you run out of fuel. Shoot enemy ships when in flight for additional points. The game will restart, but at a higher difficulty, after destroying the enemy base. In 2021, Scramble RND Revisited was released by same developer which is Scramble, but as it could have appeared in the late eighties, early nineties. Bold, colourful graphics give that old skool feeling of being in the arcades with your mates, trying to get to the top of the hi-score list. It requires you to fly over the enemy planet surface in search of their top-secret base. This base is hidden somewhere beyond the caves and factory city of the enemy. As you fly over the landscape you can bomb and shoot enemy installations. One very important installation is the FUEL POD. When you destroy one, you get more fuel. As your ship is fast and nimble it will quickly burn through its fuel supply so make sure to practice precision bombing. Rockets and saucers make surviving more difficult, but a good pilot can destroy or avoid these and then reach deep into the enemy city to destroy the secret base. Once this mission is complete you can expect more missions as the enemy is always returning. A Random Twist - Each time you play the landscape is constructed differently meaning you will always have a fresh experience every time you play. |
