Armalyte

Description

In the Delta region of space, the remnants of a long forgotten war remain - far beyond what those in the Terran system were used to. This technology is potentially valuable, but retrieving it from the 8 sectors will involve a lot of blasting and dodging.

Viewed from the side and scrolling horizontally, the game is in a similar vein to R-Type and Life Force / Salamander. Extra weapons are gained by shooting crystals and then collecting the resultant pod. Weapons on offer including lasers firing vertically and outwardly, as well as faster weaponry recharging.

Trivia

The Amiga version is more difficult than the C64 original, and many reviewers felt it was unfairly hard. Reputedly, Amiga Power magazine would refer to things they didn't rate as "Armalyte", due to the less-pleasant word it rhymes with.
