Hyper Circuit

Hyper Circuit is a video game in the action genre and published by Alligata Software Ltd. originally released in 1985. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

Your job is to move along the circuits of various 6510 chips in the Commodore 64 and protect the 35 Base units from being destroyed by various creatures. The game is viewed from above with a portion of each chip shown on screen and the screen scrolls as you move. You can only move along certain paths that form a maze of circuits as you try to destroy 20 creatures before the Base Units are destroyed to move on to the next chip. You are armed with a gun and when you fire a bullet it moves along the circuit.

In addition to the creatures that move along the tracks there are fighters that fly over the chip but can only be destroyed when they cross your path. Other elements you must avoid or shoot are the mines left by a Pulser and if you touch any creature, mine or bullet you lose one of the five lives. You are also armed with a smart bomb called a Hypercharge that destroys all creatures on the screen when activated. These are unlimited, but require about 15 seconds to recharge between each use. If you manage to reach 10,000 points, you will be granted an extra life.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
