At some point in one of the early stages there was an empty black space at the bottom of the screen.

COULD have been an excellent game except for 2 things:

1. It's damn near impossible.

2. You have to use the SPACE BAR to drop bombs! This completely kills the game for me...I'm still not sure how this game got so popular but it's very over-rated, in my opinion.

The play mechanic is a scrolling shoot-out in the Scramble / Super Cobra familiar. The gamer maneuvers a laser-wielding aircraft through weapon-infested caverns and asteroid fields that become progressively more treacherous with each... [more]

If you're looking for a good home version of Scramble, this is one of the best I've seen yet. It's fast-moving, the graphics and sound effects are good and it's hard as the devil to play - even at the easiest skill level.
This game is loaded from a cassette or disk (you do not need the Atari BASIC cartridge to play.) The cassette version takes a good five minutes to load into... [more]
