Scud Atak2 1.0 [SCUDATK]
Arcade Games
#12439
David Peterson; $10
is a missile-attack type game. Although this is an update, we are giving
it a fresh write-up because it is such a massive improvment over the old
version. The original had excellent graphics, but was too simple (only
one missile at a time) and poor sound.
This version still has excellent graphics and has added a synthesizer
music soundtrack and digitized sound effects and speech (with sound
cards), and joystick and mouse support. With the multiple missiles and
aircraft, this is now a very challenging and enjoyable game. (Included
on the CD with special permission of the author.)<SCUDATAK.PCX>
