Overview
Description

In Armor Attack, you pilot a jeep through a labyrinthine cityscape, fending off relentless waves of tanks and helicopters. The jeep’s forward‑firing rocket launcher lets you keep two rockets on screen, demanding precise timing and positioning. Tanks emerge from the edges, travel only on grid lines, and require two hits, while helicopters loop overhead and spiral down when destroyed. The gameplay echoes classic arcade shooters with a modern twist of strategic movement and limited ammunition. The game offers both solo and cooperative modes, letting players team up to survive the onslaught. With simple controls reminiscent of Atari’s Combat, Armor Attack delivers fast‑paced, action‑packed arcade fun that rewards quick reflexes and tactical shooting.

Beach-Head is a 1983 arcade‑style shooter that puts players in the boots of a soldier fighting to end a dictator’s reign. The game mixes land, sea and air combat across a series of fast‑paced levels, demanding quick reflexes and strategic targeting. Though primitive by modern standards, its blend of single‑player missions and head‑to‑head multiplayer battles captured the gritty feel of early war games. The title remains a nostalgic example of early 80s warfare gaming, offering straightforward controls and relentless action.
