Day 16.

The first C64 game appears via random game generator, this is a game cartridge by Creative that's akin to Missile Command meets Gopher, if you can fathom that. Naturally, you've played it, and here's where you come in.

Write your own mini-review here! If you've played the game, what are your thoughts? How does it stand up to other C64 games? What do you think of the developer in general? What would you have done to make the game better? This is a tough one but I know a few of you C64 peeps will know it well.

DP Guide sez:

Save New York (Commodore 64, by Creative) $6/R3
Designed by Joe Jetson. Defend NYC from attack above and below before it is destroyed. Game carts by Creative really stand out - they're molded in red plastic. c1983 Creative. #64 NYC.

It's a wierd one... fly your airplane about in a distinctly video game manner (dig those 10G tight loops!) shooting the aliens from the sky before they destroy all the skyscrapers. It's also damn difficult because your plane don't shoot much, and you've got all the buildings to avoid crashing into as well! A typical 1983 type C64 game... a good idea but without any of the flash graphics or sound to raise it up.
