Grid Patrol

ZX Spectrum · 1984 · WOR

Publisher: M. C. Lothlorien · Developer: Simon Cobb

The game takes the basic form of Transversion, but unlike that game instead of static pods to destroy there are a few aliens on the grid which keep moving about. Around all four edges of the grid there are tanks which can move up and down or left and right to fire inwards along the grid lines. nnThis means that your man must constantly face fire from four different directions, with the tanks constantly homing in to fire along the line he is on. He is equipped with a laser that fires in eight directions, with which he must destroy the wandering aliens on the grid. Bumping onto one will result in loss of life. nnEach screen cleared moves you on to a more difficult one with more aliens, and they move about more wildly.
