NOTE: THIS WEEKS GAME HAS ENDED!

SPACE FURY

Game Info
"So! A creature for my amusement! Prepare for Battle!" These are the words uttered by the alien commander upon starting a game of Space Fury. The gameplay is similiar to Asteroids in that you have one screen of space that wraps back on itself and your ship can only thrust and fire. However, whereas in Asteroids you faced pieces of rock that couldn't give chase, Space Fury instead provides alien vessels that will hunt you down. Each alien vessel starts in 4 pieces at diagonal corners which will try to join together. Shooting any of these pieces before is possible and will make things easier for your player. When one or more pieces reaches the center point, it combines with other pieces there and begins to fire upon and give chase to your vessel. There's only one screen of space, so your tactics are limited. However your vessel is not completely basic. Provided from the beginning are three superstructures, of which you can choose one, that provide additional firepower to your ship.

I have never played this game before but quickly learned that it is one of my favorite games for the Colecovision. This will be my next purchase for the Colecovision.

First score: 32,850

Collision detection is kinda wonky. Like the weird spacey sound effects. Don't care much for the game though.

This one sure is hard on your hands with all that shot firing. Not my personal best, but fair.

Ended with 1,106,380

I like the music.

The game isn't that hot though.

Maybe I'll play this time.

This game was a serious letdown. Really.

First of all, the game graphics were AWFUL. The colors and shapes were absolutely terrible. Reds, greens, and blues- like in the arcade game- were the way to go, not oranges, purples, and whites.

The shells on your fighter were always cyan, no matter which you chose.

Worse yet, the gameplay, never very complicated, was not reproduced. In the arcade version, complete aliens tumbled like an asteroid from Asteroids, but could shoot red fireballs.

Incomplete aliens could not shoot, but would chase you like a guided missile. They became faster and faster, so you had to shoot them quickly. The CV version does NOT have this- they differ from complete aliens only in that they do not fire fireballs.

You can beat this game simply by first allowing 3 incomplete aliens (the limit here is 3) onscreen- then shoot ONE of them. As a new one tries to form, shoot one or more segments. You will again have 3 incomplete aliens.

Repeat above.

Since they never get any faster and do not shoot, you can, with some practice, almost be assured of getting through the round.

I drank beer and the beer was good. Like all Space Warriors the beer enhanced my killing abilities and I entered the "zone" reaching an all time best score of 243,610. Time to relax.......
