8bit-guy Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) HYPERBLAST 5200 Frantisek Houra you are the man ! tHyperblast! is a space shoot'em up in the vein of Galaxian and Phoenix.You must blast your way through Ten waves of Alien Creatures and Craftfrom Fireflies to Fuel Ships. Each Wave consists of 6 aliens that weave individually around the screen,constantly changing direction and occasionally dive-bombing your craft.To make things harder, destroying an alien results in a rain of missilesfalling from the wreckage of your target. Only by continually dodging and shooting will you be able to space warp tothe next wave and only after you've destroyed each set of aliens 10 times! Your spaceship fires one centre missile, followed by two side missiles,which with constant fire button pressing results in a heavy barrage offirepower.The controls (left and right, plus fire) are quite responsive and the speedof the action along with the sound effects make this game an enjoyableexperience.The game can be played with one or two players, each taking turns to blastaway the alien threat. The maximum score possible is 999,000 with an extralife (you start with 5) after each 10,000 points. In my opinion, this is one of the best Shoot-Em Ups on the Atari 8-Bit Computers.And NOW for the 5200 hyperblast DEMO.bin Edited May 1, 2013 by 8bit-guy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_ Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I had a problem with the demo. After a min or so, the missiles you fire arent visible anymore. Or once I had the missiles you fire and the enemy ship centers were not visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Took some time to play this today (the full version) and it is quite fun. Different enemies for each wave, nice graphics and sound. With the Atarimax SD Cart it is great to be able to play it on the console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariBrian Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 This looks like a cool game . is there a a final boss battle or anything ? Seems a bit pricey though for a cart only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
