SPACE

.........................PANIC

by Universal / Coleco







Game Info

Space Panic pits your Spaceman against the cunning Space Monsters who are out to get him.

Make your Spaceman dig holes in girder floors to trap the monsters.

Then quickly fill them over and make the monsters fall through to their doom.

But be careful! Some monsters must fall more than one floor to meet their fate. Race your

Spaceman along girders and up and down ladders to avoid them.

Can you eliminate all the Space Monsters before your oxygen runs out?


Using the Side Buttons on the controller:
Press the left Side Button to make your Spaceman dig a hole.
Press the right Side Button to make your Spaceman fill a hole.

OK - just me I guess but... GOD What an AWFUL game! Glad I never bought back in 83-4! My high score is just under 20K after about 30 attempts (too bad I didn't have the camera around....) Almost all of the games end under 4-5K! Frustrating! YUK! I may not even bother submitting a score - I hate this game!!!


Any hints in playing the piece of .... would be helpful

This game is totally new for me...
There is a nice video at YouTube.com from the Arcade-game - maybe it helps..
(Space Panic [1980] Old Arcade Platform Video Games MAME ROMs)

I think this game could be fun with a litte practice...
