Violator
Publisher: Codemasters Software · Developer: Codemasters Software
A multi-level vertically scrolling shoot 'em up. You pilot a plane through inhospitable landscapes full of enemy fighters and gun turrets. Most of the planes come at you in formation, firing bullets at you and can be either shot or avoided. The turrets are rotating in 8 directions and aiming at you as best they can so be careful to move into a dead angle. There are also larger vehicles which fly down the screen in a direct vertical line. The helicopters hold power-ups including extra weapons (which you only get for a limited number of shots), speed-ups and energy recharge (once your vehicle's damage reaches 100%, you lose 1 of your 5 lives). The planes are large and fire a constant volley at you, but offer a huge 5000 points if taken down. At the end of each level, an big boss plane comes at you, weaving from left to right while gradually moving down the screen (and eventually out of the bottom of the screen and back through the top). Shoot it down to proceed to next level.
