Crazy Bullet is a variant of the arcade game Tank. As in that game, there is a top-down view of an arena containing two equally equipped tanks who engage in a fight to the death. Each tank can fire a bullet at a time, and move to avoid the opponent's fire. Contact with a bullet will destroy your tank, earning your opponent a point, and the first player to five points wins the contest.
The current game has a couple of important differences from the original. The most important is that bullets do not just travel in a straight line after you fire them. They move in the direction in which you last directed your tank. This allows you to fire around corners, and even to shoot yourself (gifting your opponent a free point). Secondly, there are a number of different arenas which can be chosen, with different wall layouts. Some of these layouts also include a turn-style which allows you to pass but stops any pursuing bullets. Finally there are two speed settings (for fast and slow bullets).
Below your fighter, you have spotted a fleet of enemy warships. Your airfleet has only three fighters. You find yourself preparing for a life or death battle that can only begin right now. The enemy battleship has already begun to attack with full power. How much success will you have in defeating the enemy fleet?
Car Race is a simple racing game. The objective of the game is to race on a single track, evading other cars and collecting fuel on the ground. The longer the player can last, the higher the score.
Hedgehogs cannot play volleyball because their spines might pierce the ball.
Instead they choose volleyring - essentially the same game, but using a ring
from Sonic's universe. The rules are simple: send a ring to opponent's side,
don't touch the net or ground. Hedgehog have to jump to strike the ring, but
three consecutive contacts with it is a fault. Match is played to 15 points.
Left player is Sonic the Hedgehog, right player is Shadow the Hedgehog. Both
are controlled by players using joysticks or cursor keys. Press [ 1 ] in the
main menu to choose Sonic's controls, press [ 2 ] to pick Shadow's controls.
Press [ S ] to start match. Note that there is an easter egg in the game!
Released in 1987, this Spanish pinball game was developed and published by Omikron. Outside the review (and a page ad) on Issue 42 of MSX Extra, listing on MSX Games World and a post on Instagram by MSX Calamar, not much is known about this obscure game.
A certain round yellow guy, who’s probably the most iconic video game character ever, makes his entrance in ARC8’s recent MSX game called “PAC-01”. That’s right, it is Pac-Man himself that makes waves in the world’s fastest dot eating game.
Combine Pac-Man with relentless vertical scrolling, and you get an interesting game concept. In PAC-01, your playfield scrolls from bottom to top, as pills are scattered around to be eaten. However, pills aren’t the sole item on the menu. The point of PAC-01 is that you advance a level when you had all six of the the spooky baddies for lunch – or dinner, whatever you prefer. Also, as is only befitting in a Pac-Man themed game, pieces of fruit will appear occasionally to serve as a refreshing snack which will increase your score.
In this fine piece of Z80 entertainment, you hunt down the ghosts that escaped from the glitch; the deadly green computer bits at the bottom of the screen. This pool of game glitches also means instant death to our yellow little protago
