Mothership
By Artic Computing
Commodore 64

 
Published in Home Computing Weekly #48

A game for one or two players requiring a joystick. Different levels can be set for each player.

The scenario has three phases. The aim is destroy the Mothership which in the first phase sends 12 drones towards you. You must destroy them before entering the Mothership.

Here you must reach the control pod, avoiding mutant meanies, jumping over breaks in the floor, and using an elevator. A further hazard, a scanner, may also appear. But, like the meanies, it cannot harm you. Shooting them adds to your points.

When you reach the pod you move onto the third phase, the Mothership's home base, where you have to destroy the planet's generators. Energy pods must be disposed of first. Beware of energy torpedoes! If successful, you return to the first phase at a higher difficulty level.

Good use is made of sound, graphics and movement but essentially this is an amalgam of all the old favourites.
