Caverns of Mars

Game Profile:

Arcade game made to work in the small Atari 400, only 16kb showing us
that with a few resources great games can be done.

Typically 80s shooter game where you must remember where appear each
enemy, four levels with each cavern becoming harder and adding
saucers, shooter towers, rockets and always fuel that runs out faster
than life.

This time you are the invader getting into Mars, however the newspaper
said that is in self-defence, well that political part will left for
them. We want some points... search and destroy.

Became a fearless pilot and save the human kind.

The fellow's from Chile, sscott, I think that he can be forgiven for his English not being brilliant.

Anyway, the game seems like an interesting precursor to Thrust - the screenshot itself reminds me of later titles like Sub-Terrania and Bangai-O. There's not much new under the sun, is there? ;)
