Fort Apocalypse
Atari 800 · 1982
A Fort is too powerful to being attacked directly, but a single rocket copter, carefully controlled might be able to do what an army cannot. The player takes the seat of a "rocket copter" and can move up, down, as well as left and right. However this helicopter takes time to turn between left and right perspectives, facing the "front" of the screen. While facing the front, the player is able to drop powerful plasma bombs which can destroy heavy weapons and doors. When facing directly left or right, the weapon used is a more maneuverable but weaker interceptor rocket. There are also separate Landing Pads which will be the point at which a new helicopter is given to the player, should they be defeated in battle. Enemies include laser beams, teleporting rocks, breakable walls, self-propelled mines (SPM), armored tanks (which can only be destroyed from their treads), alien droids and hostile robo-choppers.
