It's fiddly, frustrating and decidedly dull. A great incentive to start saving up for something better. Read Review
Not only is Scorpion not fancy; because of a really awkward control method, it's not even much fun. Read Review
The new Scorpion battle machine has just been designed and needs to be put to the test. It has been given the task of stopping a simulated sabotage of modern oil refinery. If successful, it will be included into the country's main defences.
You have been given the job of getting the tank through this test by its creators.
Manoeuvre your Scorpion tank over the pipeline network trying to destroy the two bomb layers (the jelly-type alien), but you must also collect all the time bombs left on the pipes before their timers detonate (you have sixty seconds to achieve this) to complete each level. On later levels, the pipes open and close to hinder you even more and as a bonus for each bomb diffused, you are given an extra five seconds.
Joystick only with usual controls.
SHIFT-RUN/STOP
