Assault.
And I'm going to bet most of you have never heard of it. Hell, a good portion of you weren't even alive. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Back in 'the day', we were trained on Joysticks, full-hand control with, at most, the thumb controlling only a button. And thus this game can not be ported over, at least not in the same degree. On the second webpage look at the dual-joystick control. Sure, normal tank functions are key, but this was a 'four-way' control setup. If you push both joysticks to either left or right, your tank tumbles in a 'strafe' like manuever - something unique for the late 80's (let alone having intricate sprites), if you hold the joysticks in opposing left-right pattern, you stand still, bunch can launch a powerful Area-effect weapon (one of my favorites). The explosion also stops most (not all) shells. The longer you hold, the longer the range of the weapon, but you are also dead still (a problem). I loved the balance. Unlike my other favorite, Heavy Barrel, I never got to see the ending of this game. Back then, I refused...utteral refused, to put more then one quarter into an arcade game. $.25 was worth more back then, and the way I thought was this: With a quarter I get 25+ minutes of gameplay, but that next quarter I might only get 2 minutes, maybe 3. Not cost effective. Times were different back then, and min wage was only about $2-$3. But I definitely miss that controller setup. The PS1 had a dual controller, but no one's made anything like it since. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] |
