I've recently found out from Saberman, that the Arcade to Amiga conversion of Irem's classic 1982 scrolling shooter of 'Moon Patrol' by both JOTD and no9(music), has now been updated with a new AGA enhanced, ECS and OCS build for you to try! Basically for those of you who were complaining about games created with just AGA in mind, you can now try lower end builds of the game all created as a transcode of Moon Patrol arcade using assembler.
In the mid 80's the developer Irem, released the fantastically enjoyable game of' ' Moon Patrol '. A side-scrolling shooter that is widely credited for the introduction of parallax scrolling in side-scrolling video games, as you drove a buggy across a landscape, jumping over ditches and rocks while also shooting at enemies both above and in front of you. It was so popular in fact that many remember it on a multitude of home systems such as the Atari 800, 2600, C64, Vic-20, Gameboy and even the Intellivision. Well that same game of which many of us have enjoyed, has appeared on the Commodore 64 by joeyc64, as an almost Arcade like version called Mars Patrol!
In 1982-1987, Irem with licensing by Williams released the fantastically enjoyable game of' ' Moon Patrol ' for the Arcade gaming community. A side-scrolling shooter that is widely credited for the introduction of parallax scrolling in side-scrolling video games, as you drove a buggy across a landscape, jumping over ditches and rocks while also shooting at enemies both above and in front made this such a great game to play.
