Probe 198?. Programmed by Tim Moore
A sideways scrolling avoid
'em up. Not a bad attempt either. You basically run from left to right
in order to reach the end of level within a strict time limit. Obstructing
you path are various obstables such as rolling barrels, pits or for some
unknown reason hurdles. Surprisingly for a horizontal scrolling game on
the ST the scrolling is not bad at all and at some points when you are
running flat out gets quite nippy. It's not the prettiest game to look
at and the music (which can be turned off) is borderline irritating but
this is a pretty enjoyable game. Your character is fairly well animated
and the backgrounds remind me of Streets of Rage for some reason. I think
Probe could have almost got a pretty nifty beat 'em up out of this game
engine.
I'm not sure what else to say really. You'll either love it or hate it,
but it's all fairly competently done if not a lot else.
