Next time I post a game I'm going to be just as vague as Krop. Apparently it gets people guessing.

Er, lessee, Dune 2?

Sorry, I thought that I post some real clues faster, but my girlfriend wanted to use her own computer, what a nerve! And to play Starcraft out of all games, a rts! The game I'm talking about is TBS though, as it should be.

Anyhow, to the real clue; The game used the same interface as a series of other games. But, besides from all being stategy games, they had very little in common with the game I'm looking for here.

Haven't heard of that series and the review i'm reading doesn't describe it as such.

Some more clues..

Can't have been that many games for the C64 back that early.... And Jupiter lander isn't exacly multi-scrolling, or shot 'em up. Now, I think there was some chopper game amoungst my oldies back then. Can't remember the name though.

Chopper game? I remember a game were you had to fly your chopper into an underground base, pick up people, dodge lasers and missile tanks and constantly keep an eye on your fuel level.

The game : Fort Acocalypse , another venerable classic.

If that in fact was the game in question. Iirc, it had a lot of clones.... There was one really good version in arcades but that was years after 1982.

The game in question is indeed Fort Apocalypse.

I'll leave it to you guys to sort out if CapTVK or Spikey is the winner.

Damn it

Why was this one so easy
