Earth Battle
Earth Battle is a relatively short (4K) program designed on a BBC Model BOS. 1.2. Using MODE 2 graphics (hence the need for the Model B), the program is a space game with a slight variation from the rest. The scenario is that of a doomed Earth, having been reduced to a smouldering pile of ashes by the superior invading aliens. The last of the surviving inhabitants are being evacuated via space shuttles to communes on the moons of Mars. The task has nearly been completed. However, the long range scan¬ ners indicate that yet another wave of aliens are approaching. The player commands the sole remaining laser battery, situated behind a nearby moun¬ tain range. The battery is pro¬ tected by a force field, but this will be gradually eroded away by the aliens’ own lasers. The battery’s own fuel source to the lasers will not last for ever. However, while these resources last, the aliens will only attack the player and not the remaining inhabitants. Therefore, it is the player’s job to present to the remaining people of earth as many minutes as possible to get away before the planet is totally anihilated.
