Now it's time for all the revellers to make their way home. Being a little worse for drink, you decide to walk home in the cool night air, rather than taking a taxi. Singing merrily along the way, you walk through the park and skip lightly over the ducks and catch the notes of music that seem to hang in the air. But be careful when approaching the railway, trains still run at this time of day and wild dogs are in search of food!! When you have collected all the notes on the level you are on you will proceed to the next, collecting a time bonus on the way.*** [193]*** [4]*** [15] | labelimagesubject |

This tag might not actually apply. I've decided to tag it because both professional and amateur reviewers commonly believe the game has only one level or sometimes two levels (but not universally, I found one reviewer, giving it an average score, who made it to level 3 and gave up further play). It in fact has 6 levels (the first level is replayed harder so one might say it has 5 levels). From its release to this very day, reviewers seem to fail to pass the first or second level. This alone is not enough. But there are also some owners of the game that don't believe in the other levels, even though the game's packaging advertises them.*** [15] | labelimageminimize |

| Arcadia | Imagine | 1982 | darkspace endless fixedshooter instantdeath lives score space waves | Arcadia is a fast paced action shooter released for many formats. The Vic-20 version was superior in terms of gameplay. There were eight levels of different aliens to shoot (on the Vic atleast), afterwhich it wraps back around to the first set of aliens. Each level you progress increases the score received for shooting each alien, so by the time you get to the nineth level you are getting 9 points per hit rather than 1. 8 different aliens does not sound a lot of variety in the game, but each level is very hard to complete so you will need a lot of practice to get past them all. Even when you do the temptation is there to keep on going racking up your score. But discovering the different aliens and their behaviour is just one part of the appeal. The ship you control constantly falls to the bottom of the screen and you have to thrust up to climb higher. This coupled with independant twin lasers that have a very short range adds a gaming experience that is very addictive to master. Very simple concept but works remarkably well!
