City Defence is a game for one or two players. It will run on any Model B BBC Micro (or Model A with memory expansion) and will also run with the disc interface fitted.
You are under attack. Deadly missiles are approaching your ground bases, from above. Each missile is capable of totally destroying its target. Your duty is to defend your cities from the waves of missiles by firing rockets from your three bases and steering them towards their targets.
You may have up to five rockets at the air at once, but beware - you can only direct the last one fired, and you only have a limited number of rockets available for each wave. Luckily, between waves of missiles you get a chance to reload! To stay in the game, you must preserve at least one of your cities.
J - Launch left rocket, K - Launch centre rocket, L - Launch right rocket
TAB - Steer last rocket fired to the left, Q - Steer last rocket fired to the right
A bonus city is awarded for every 1,500 points scored.
There is on-screen scoring for one or two players, and the program also keeps track of the high score.
