Hyperblast! 5200

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 Craft
from 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 missiles
falling from the wreckage of your target.

Only by continually dodging and shooting will you be able to space warp to
the 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 of
firepower.
The controls (left and right, plus fire) are quite responsive and the speed
of the action along with the sound effects make this game an enjoyable
experience.
The game can be played with one or two players, each taking turns to blast
away the alien threat. The maximum score possible is 999,000 with an extra
life (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
