A fast and enjoyable game... One of the few improved by the use of joysticks. Read Review
A splendid all-action arcade game. Read Review
I found that the keys are a little too close together for comfort, but this version of the arcade game is certainly playable. Read Review
Birds Of Prey is fast and challenging, but the display is poor and Galaxian addicts will find they can do better elsewhere. Read Review

Birds Of Prey is a game of skill and reflexes (there is a choice of ten skill levels). The birds swoop down from space, bombing you as they do so, and then they circle menacingly, still dropping bombs. There are other hazards as well! - A game that nobody can beat!!
You start with three lives, and get a bonus life every fourth time that you clear the screen.
You are attacked by swoopers, kamakazee birds and death bombs.
The birds start off information at the top of the screen, with swoopers peeling off from the formation and coming into attack and then circling, bombing you whilst they do so.
Kamakazee birds also peel off from the formation and then swoop at you as they decend. If they miss you, they go off the bottom of the screen, re-appearing at the top.
You are also periodically attacked by death bombs. If you do not shoot them before they reach the bottom of the screen, you lose one life.
A - Left, D - Right, S - Fire
Or use the joystick.
Birds whilst in formation:
White = 10, Yellow = 20, Red = 30
Swoopers are worth 70 points.
Kamakazee birds are worth 100 points.
