Description: In Night Gunner, you are the pilot of an airplane in combat with four enemy planes. At the center of the screen is your firing sight, a cross used for aiming. Using the cursor keys, you maneuver your airplane to get the enemy aircraft within your sights, and then you fire. The object is to destroy the enemy airplanes before they destroy you.
Evaluation: This game is fun. Each time I played, I was shot down without warning after destroying several enemy aircraft, Pointing the sights at the airplane was difficult, and when I did, I was usually too slow in shooting.
Night Gunner is programmed in machine language for fast action. The graphics used for planes aren’t great, but recognizable.
Distributed by Softsync, Night Gunner is a refreshing change from the standard shooting games. However, given the choice, I’d rather play one of the more conventional shooting games. Night Gunner requires a 16K memory.
