Aftermath	Alternative Software	1988	Couldn't find any further information about the release of the game except that it appeared in the compilation "Classic Arcadia 2" as "Missile" in 1990. The copyright date of 1988 at least hints to another earlier release though.	C64

Air-Sea Battle	Atari;Sears (Atari)	1977	A target shooting game. On most settings, you are positioned at the bottom of the screen and you shoot at targets at the top of the screen. The various settings provide different targets and weapons with different characteristics. In games 1-6, you are an anti-aircraft gun and you shoot, unsurprisingly, at aircraft. You are stationary. Your control is limited to selecting the time of firing, the angle at which your shot is fired, and, on some settings, exertion of minor control over the direction of your missile. In games 7-12, you are a submarine and you shoot torpedoes at the ships above. On these settings, you are able to move your submarine back and forth across the bottom of the screen. Your torpedoes, however, can only be fired directly above. Some settings allow minor control over the direction of your torpedo once fired. In games 13-15, you are apparently the anti-aircraft gun again. This time, however, you are shooting at shooting gallery targets (clown faces, ducks, rabbits). The controls are as in games 1-6. In games 16-18, you are a ship and you fire Polaris missiles at jets flying above. Your ship constantly moves on its own, you control only the speed. When you fire, the angle of the missile and its speed are based on the speed your ship was traveling at the time of firing. Some settings restrict your ability to change speed once a missile is fired, others allow you to exert control over the missile by changing speed once the missile is fired. In games 19-21, the situation is reversed, you are the jet dropping bombs at the ships below. The controls in this setting are the same as in games 16-18. The difference, of course, is that you are dropping bombs from above at targets below. In Games 22-27, one player is the jet and the other is the ship. Each of the two-player games is a matter of who can hit more targets in 2 minutes and 16 seconds. In each of the single-player games, the single-player tries to outscore a computer opponent that simply constantly fires.*[media=youtube]YpZ7GfneiO0[/media]Atari CX-2602. numbered text and pictured label rarity 3 scarce, plain text label and Sears 49-75102 99802 rarity 2 common+. All versions released in North America, stereo, 1 player or 2 players and uses 1 joystick or 2 joysticks for simultaneous play. [Zerothis]**One of the nine games available on the release of Atari VCS. You have to destroy anything moving across the playfield. It was programmed rather badly; in some levels there were problems with controlling your craft, collisions were inaccurate, and if you hit your enemy, even its shot was destroyed! Moreover, it lacked longevity and variety. Definitely unsatisfactory. [Retro-Maniac]	Atari 2600

Alien Blaster	Personal Computer World	1983	Originally authored for the Sinclair Spectrum by Alan Green, then converted for the BBC Micro by Daniel Lucas. The original Spectrum listing was published in issue 1 (Summer 1983) of Personal Computer Games magazine from VNU publishing. Published on the Best of PCW software for the BBC Micro compilation from Personal Computer World magazine. These compilation cassettes were published by Century Communications Ltd. Later published on the Electron User Group PD Disc 40 in October 1998. The book accompanying the Best of PCW Software for the BBC compilation contained the following description: This is a simple but addictive game that uses sound and colour to good effect. Menacing Aliens are trying to colonise the earth and to save us all you must shoot them down before they land. Inexorably, the nearer they get the higher they score, and you have got to act very fast - only five have to land to take over the planet!	BBC

Alien Break-In	Amsoft;Romik (Romik)	1984	The citizens of earth have fled before the oncoming Zargon Fleet. You have been left to guard the earth's supply of uranium.... Things are worse than you expected. The Mother ship is laying pods that hatch on landing, or split into two if shot. Other ships are peeling off from the main fleet, and diving towards the holes made in the defences. The successful ones mutate into Mother ships, which are indestructible. Once the majority have mutated, they commence landing procedures. You may make holes in your own defences to trap the hatched out pods, but you can only do this five times.

Alien Downpour	Snacking On Software	2017	Shoot the various enemies. Rescue spaced hostages that the enemies through at the player's ship. Don't shoot the hostages. Some enemies can hover in the player's way to prevent them from moving too far left or right. When this happens, the player has limited choices to dodge, pickup hostages, and aim at enemies. You can shoot enemy shots to make both disappear (yah, lots of 8-bit games did that). When you die, the debris of your exploding spacecraft can collide with other elements of the game. Including hostages.	Apple II E
