MOON BUGGY ========== FEATURES: FULL COLOUR SMOOTH SPRITE GRAPHICS 8 SCREENS 16 TYPES OF ALIEN PROGRESSIVE DIFFICULTY SOUND ON SCREEN SCORING HIGH SCORE TABLE KEMPSTON JOYSTICK OPTION HAZARDOUS CRATERS? SPACECRAFT Ah yes, the miracle of modem technology. I told them I'm going to a hostile alien world where I will be attacked by spacecraft from above, missiles on the ground and wacking great holes all around me. So, what do they give-me? A new posting? No. An armed guard? No. They give me the modem day equivalent of a caterpillar tracked JCB fitted out with guns that fire to the left and right and above only and the only way to aim them is to turn the Cat in that direction (it cost too much to make them self targeting). But yes they did add one refinement, they put what looks like a pogo stick underneath. Push the panic button and the Cat leaps 20 feet into the air. It's great for getting over the pot holes, but it's not so great on the body. I used to be 6ft tall, I'm only 5ft 6in now. It's the impact that does it. Still if you think you can do better go ahead and try, you just have to have incredible reflexes and be totally at home driving a roller coaster. PROGRAM LOADING INSTRUCTIONS 1.

You must at all times avoid the holes by jumping over them. Failure to do so will mean destruction of the craft. The fire button allows you to shoot either left or right and above. You may only shoot in the direction you are facing but at all times you can shoot above as well. Copyright 1983 Visions (Software Factory) Ltd.
