Battle Through Time

This game is like a cross between Moon Buggy and Time Pilot. Like Moon Buggy, you have a vehicle that can jump obstacles and shoot up and across. Objects bomb you and there is a nice background scene.

Like Time Pilot, the levels start at World War 1, through WW2, Korea, Vietnam, WW3 (!), War Mutations, and the dawn of time - rather more levels than Time Pilot really.

The game is very playable and has some stunning effects including Beethoven's fifth being played over the start-up screen. There is also a different tune for each level like M*A*S*H for Korea, and the theme music to Acocalypse Now for Vietnam.

Well worth a look if only for the music.
