This was originally a shoot 'em up video game developed by Will Wright and published by Broderbund for the Commodore 64 in 1984. It was his first game and inspired him to do SimCity in 1989. It's an overlooked masterpiece where the premise is simple, yet execution is another thing altogether. This is a modern fan-made remake. You must destroy the 6 enemy war factories dotted around Bungeling Bay. The factories need to be precision bombed, but your helicopter is also equipped with missiles to help you combat the boats, jets, gun emplacements, tanks, and tracking stations around the map. There are several pioneering aspects in this game. For example, the radar stations will summon jets if you don't take them out quickly enough, and the tanks and guns respawn quicker depending on the status of the war factories. It's very much a dynamic environment, almost like an early action-oriented RTS. |
