Mag Max — Robo Centurion
Описание игры
Mag Max – это игра на ZX Spectrum, созданная прежде всего для аркадных автоматов, а затем аккуратно портированная на Спектрум компанией Imagine. При переносе, естественно, пострадала графика, а вот геймплей остался на том же уровне.
Процесс игры заключается в следующем. По экрану слева направо движется робот. Он должен уничтожать на своем пути противников – также всевозможных автоматических роботов, которые стреляют. Некоторые из них при этом хаотично движутся. Пройдя уровень слева направо, наш герой должен спуститься в проход на следующий уровень. Проход выглядит как кольцо, в которое нужно наступить. На новом уровне игрока поджидают новые враги. В конце уровня, как правило, необходимо сразиться с боссом, например большим скорпионом.
Интересной особенностью игрового процесса является то, что вначале игрок управляет лишь средней частью человекоподобного робота. При успешном прохождении уровня сначала можно подобрать ноги робота. Они увеличивают его рост, и дают дополнительную огневую мощь. Потом можно подобрать еще несколько не менее полезных запасных частей.
Сам игровой процесс точно такой же, как и в десятках других игр – нужно идти вперед и уничтожать все на своем пути.
Управление: Q — вверх, A — вниз, N – влево, M — вправо, пробел –«огонь».
Советы:
- Враги перемещаются группами по одной и той же схеме. Стоит запоминать схему движения врагов для эффективного их уничтожения
- Особенно опасайтесь бункеров
- Дракона нужно уничтожить по частям, уничтожая их одну за другой прицельными попаданиями
- Если на верхнем уровне становится слишком «жарко», спуститесь на время вниз
- В процессе игры старайтесь находиться в центре экрана. Это даст время и возможность уклонения от врагов.

THE GAME
In the last days before the great collapse, the remnants of humanity
realised that their demise was inevitable.
Mechanoid hordes from a distant and undiscovered galaxy had laid waste
to civilisation in a series of brutal attacks, leaving only death and
destruction in their wake. But as reports of the first assault rang
through the known worlds, Sci-corps were putting the finishing touches
to a prototype robo-centurian; Mag Max. The last defender of mankind
was barely completed before Sci-corps were reduced to dust in
withering hail of laser death. The invaders were unaware of this
project that could prove to be their downfall, for deep in the
planet's bowels a circuit has closed and Mag Max lives! Seeking out
his various components, scattered across the continents he gains
strength and firepower to complete his final programme: Death to the
Invaders!
Begin by guiding Max along the planets surface and through the
underground caverns. Take control of him and search the planet for the
component parts; As the assembly takes phase his power and defences
will increase. You will also discover special craters which will
transport Max to the underground levels where more dangers lurk.
Armaments consist of Super-Laser with which you must eliminate all
aliens and their structures, however certain of them can only be
vanquished with the special lance that is part of your weapons system.
At the end of each stage you confront the leader of the invading
forces which must be completely overcome to proceed to the next level.
STATUS AND SCORING
On-screen scoring shows current score; hi-score and the number of
lives remaining. Points are awarded for aliens eliminated and defences
destroyed from 50 to 200; the Monster at the end of each level scores
10,000. Bonus lives are awarded every 20,000 points.
HINTS AND TIPS
1. Note the patterns that the groups of aliens move in-time your shots
for maximum points.
2. Be very wary of the Bunkers.
3. The Dragon must be killed part by part with multiple hits.
4. If the action gets too "hot" on the upper level drop down for a
while.
5. Try to keep to the centre of the screen as much as possible, it gives you
time to manoeuvre.
GOOD LUCK!
