War Play

Here's the latest blast and bomb-'em game to turn your Commodore 64 into a battlefield.

A strategic island has fallen into enemy hands and must be recaptured at all costs. Victory can only be achieved when the enemy headquarters have been destroyed. Two people can play the game, one taking the role of defender and the other the invader. You can swap between a tank and aeroplane for the conflict.

The majority of the screen is taken up with an angled view down onto the battlefield, showing, buildings, tanks, trees and airstrips, etc. A strip across the bottom of the screen contains details of the present status of both Defender and Invader.

There are three levels of play, ranging from easy to hard. Definitely not in the Commando, Rambo league.
