Falcons

The Good
The game was a good clone of Phoenix, the controls were responsive, and the gameplay was fun.

The Bad
The game was so difficult even on the first few levels that it could get extremely frustrating. The alien birds wouldn't just swoop down and shoot at you, they would loop and swurve off the bottom of the screen and back on again. The worst part was sometimes they would hide on the bottom of the screen and suddenly come back up (only a few pixels of them were visible) to ram your ship.

The Bottom Line
Falcons is an extremely difficult version of the arcade game Phoenix. You have a ship at the bottom of the screen that can shoot a few shots at a time and put up shields to defend versus various bird-like enemies. The first two stages were two different formations of small birds. The next two levels were large eagle-like birds that emerged from eggs and liked to dive-bomb your ship. In the last level, you had to detroy the mother ship (a big stationary flying saucer) defended by wave after wave of the small falcons.
