Circus
You have entered the grounds of a Circus and the objective is to complete three tents and the Big Top within a time limit to move on to the next level. Each tent is made up of several individual screens and each must be completed before attempting another tent or the Big Top in any order. You start at the door of the venue viewed from a high angle and try to get to the first tent or Big Top, but there are people walking in the direction you are moving and if you touch a person, you go back to the door losing valuable seconds. The three tents and the Big Tent involve the following tasks:
Tent One: Viewed from the side there are four screens to traverse reaching from the left of the screen to the right. Each screen has barrels that fall, pipes that move, blocks that move, and ribbons that move up and down carrying boxes. If you touch any obstacle, you start over from the left on the screen you are on.
Tent two: You are in a maze viewed from a high angle and must make your way from the left of the screen to the right while avoiding ghosts, flying arrows and flying flames. The ghosts wander around the maze and you must avoid them or you turn to the left of the screen. If you find yourself in the path of an arrow or flame, you can press the fire button to receive limited immunity.
Tent 3: A first-person shooter in which you have to shoot as many balloons and plates as you can while the edge slowly disappears.
Tent: Here you have the opportunity to perform three acts on three side screens in front of a crowd where you can do trapeze, tightrope and be a human cannonball. On the trapeze you will try to go from the left to the right of the screen by swinging and catching three swings. On the tightrope you must try to go from the left ladder to the right by walking on the tightrope while avoiding the birds by jumping on them. In the human bullet you have to try to catch the string of a balloon by firing the cannon at the right time. If you pop the balloon or miss any act, you will start on the left of the screen in the act you are playing.
Metro Blitz
Metro Blitz was a groundbreaking game released in 1983 for the popular Commodore 64 computer. Developed by Lucasfilm Games, known for their innovative games and high-quality graphics, Metro Blitz was a game ahead of its time. It combined the elements of a fast-paced action game with puzzle-solving and strategy gameplay, making it a unique and addictive experience.
The game is set in a futuristic city where the player takes on the role of a police officer fighting against crime and corruption. The city is under siege by a powerful crime syndicate, and it's up to the player to navigate through the city's treacherous streets and take down the criminals. The gameplay is divided into different levels, each with its own set of challenges and obstacles.
What set Metro Blitz apart from other games of its time was its advanced graphics and animations. The developers used highly detailed and colorful graphics to bring the bustling city to life. From graffiti-covered walls to neon lights, the game truly captured the gritty and dangerous atmosphere of a futuristic metropolis.
But the game's graphics were not the only impressive feature. Metro Blitz also had a complex and intelligent AI system, making the gameplay more challenging and unpredictable. The criminals in the game were not just mindless enemies but had individual personalities and strategies, making each level a unique experience.
The game also had a wide range of weapons and gadgets at the player's disposal. From guns and bombs to jet packs and grappling hooks, there were endless possibilities for the player to fight against the criminals. The game also had various power-ups scattered throughout the city, which could be used to gain extra health or weapons to help the player in their quest.
One of the most exciting and innovative aspects of Metro Blitz was its use of puzzles. In some levels, the player had to use their problem-solving skills to navigate through a maze or unlock a secret door. These puzzles added an extra layer of challenge to the game and kept players engaged and hooked for hours.
Metro Blitz received critical acclaim and was a massive commercial success, selling over two million copies worldwide. It was praised for its stunning visuals, engaging gameplay, and challenging levels.
