Death Watch
In this program, which is for Model B only, you are in command of a field gun dug into a hillside fortress. There are many tanks on the plain below you, and on the shore, more are being dis-embarked from the landing craft. Helicopter gunships appear from time to time to support the tanks. When a tank has its sights lined up on you it will fire once. They never miss, but the damage caused is variable. The ships are unarmed, but they are in range and score highly, as do the helicopter gunships. These do not always fire at you, but when they do, they also never miss. If you survive the first attack you are given a short breather for repairs - up to 33 per cent of the damage - before battle recommences. A good high score is around 6000. Full instructions and a high score table are included in the program. Written by Brian and Marian Clark and published in BBC Micro User Volume 1 Issue 1.
