| 1943: The Battle of Midway | Go!;U.S. Gold (Probe Software) | 1988 | 1943™ It was over 40 years ago, at the height of World War II, that the Japanese main squadron tasted defeat off the west coast of the Midway Islands.

This is your opportunity at the controls of your magnificent P38, armed with six secret weapons, to relieve the titanic struggle for supremacy against the battleship Yamato and it's legions of defences.

| Xenon | Renegade Software;Melbourne House (The Bitmap Brothers) | 1988 | [22]***Budget version [63]*** [1]***Budget version [52]*** [52]*** [52]***From the moment that Captain Xod's face appeared out of the static on the communicator, you knew he was in trouble. As the only other Federation ship in the sector you had to go to his aid. You need to fight your way through sixteen zones, collecting essential supplies for the fleet. At the end of each sector you have a chance to refuel and restock but only after you have defeated the most vicious alien you have ever seen. A strategic vertically scrolling shoot-em-up. You have the option of swapping between two very different craft, suit the challenge facing you at the time; either a ground-based saucer or a well-armed, and faster fighter aircraft. A fast-moving, thinking man's shoot-em-up. | labelimagesubject |
