A true 8bit classic top down shooter originally released in 1985 by Jon Williams and with kind permission re-written for your enjoyment. This re-make sticks closely to the original game we all knew and loved: Using the quick firing terror tank you must penetrate the city of the Berks and collect 21 keys, all of which are heavily entombed in heavy building blocks. Once these have been collected, you gain access to the Inner Sanctum. Your task goes on - blasting your way to 4 more keys you may enter the Heart of the Inner Sanctum. Once inside, 10 more keys must be collected before you gain entry into the Berks' Sacred Treasure Chamber. This treasure must be recovered before you can complete your task. The Berks are after you, the Drones are after you, even the protective blocks will destroy you on impact. You are given 5 lives, you can gain extra lives up to a maximum of 9, by recovering the hearts scattered around the City. Extra Information: Play left or right handed, your first touch becomes your direction control and your second touch activates your blaster. You terror tank remains stationary whilst firing and you can direct your blaster with the first touch.

SOLDIER ONE — A CLASSIC C64-STYLE SHOOTER Load up your cannon and get ready, soldier! SOLDIER ONE is a fixed-shooter throwback built in the spirit of classic Commodore 64 arcade games — chunky pixel graphics, punchy sound, and the kind of "one more try" difficulty that made 8-bit gaming legendary. Fight your way through 7 escalating levels, from a coastal naval battle to a final beachhead assault against a small army of enemy soldiers. BATTLE AT SEA Man a fixed cannon and take aim at waves of enemy boats sailing in from both sides of the screen. Time your shots, manage your ammo, and keep your power bar out of the red as enemy fire rains down. STORM THE COAST As the campaign continues, face down enemy shore batteries and gun emplacements in a tense standoff of cannon versus cannon. FIGHT ON THE BEACH The battle moves to land. Trade your cannon for a rifle and face waves of enemy soldiers — riflemen who return fire, and grenadiers who lob explosives your way. Watch your flanks: some enemies never fight alone. THE FINAL STAND In the climactic 7th level, hold the line against ten enemy soldiers — nine riflemen and a dangerous grenadier — in an all-out final battle for the win. GAME FEATURES • 7 handcrafted levels across two distinct combat settings — sea and land • Authentic Commodore 64-inspired pixel art and color palette • Ammo management — every shot counts • Power bar — take too much damage and it's game over • Live timer — beat the clock before time runs out • High score table — chase the top spot and enter your name in lights • Simple, precise one-touch controls built for quick sessions or long runs Whether you grew up on 8-bit classics or just love a good retro challenge, SOLDIER ONE delivers tight, focused arcade action from the first shot to the final stand. Press fire to start!
