PcLegends is a free app dedicated to tech-fans who are curious to know the prehistory of personal computing, through the first computers. In 1971, the first microprocessor arrived on the market: the Intel 4004. A small “brain”, integrated into a chip, capable of acting as a central processing unit for small computers that, in a very short time, made computing available to anyone. That's where the Microcomputing Era was born. And in just over a decade, microcomputers, or microprocessor-based systems, radically changed the world of computing. In the “Gallery” section, the app introduces 85 legendary home, personal and professional computers, pioneers of the new era, which were released in the 70s and the first half of the 80s. In that app section you can Explore its essential features, along with its image and a brief description. And, to challenge you and test what are you learning about those legendary PCs, the app offers four game modes: 'Name', 'Image', 'Specs' and 'Master'. PLAY 'NAME' — Knowing the photo of a computer, you have to guess its name among 5 options. — The goal is to guess as many PCs in a row as possible. — If you improve your record per game, it will be reflected on the scoreboard. And if in a game you manage to guess right 50 PCs in a row, your 'Challenges overcome' score will increase. PLAY 'IMAGE' — Knowing its name, you have to guess which legendary PC is it, touching its photo among 6 possible options. — You have to guess right as many PCs in a row as possible, without error. — If you improve your record per game, it will be reflected on the scoreboard. And if in a game you manage to guess right 50 PCs in a row, your 'Challenges overcome' score will increase. PLAY 'SPECS' — Knowing the name of a PC and 5 basic specs, you have to guess which one of those 5 specs does not correspond to that PC. — The more PCs in a row you beat in the same game, the better your 'Specs' record will be. — And if you guess right which one is the wrong spec of 20 PCs in a row, your 'Challenges overcome' score will increase. PLAY 'MASTER' — Knowing the name of the PC, you have to guess right five of its specs, on 5 successive screens. — If you guess right the 5 specs of a PC, you will move on to the next one. — The more spec tests you pass in a row, the better your 'Master' record will be. And the more PCs you hit in the same game, guessing right all 5 specs, the higher your ‘Guessed PCs' record will be. — And if you manage to guess right all 5 specs of 10 PCs in the same game, your 'Challenges overcome' scoreboard will increase. POINTS AND RECORDS — In this section you will find, updated, all your 'Record scores' and your 'Challenges overcome' scores in the four game modes.

Controls --------- · On Screen, Left Joystick, Right Fire and Undock ships. · Joystick & GamePad Xbox, PS, MFI Compatible. Description ------------ TerrA Crest4 is a classic arcade game that immerses players in a fast-paced, action-packed shoot 'em up experience. Set in the depths of space, players take control of a futuristic spacecraft armed with powerful weaponry. The game is played from a top-down perspective as players navigate their ship through vertically scrolling stages filled with hordes of enemy spacecraft, ground-based turrets, and other hostile entities. What sets TerrA Crest4 apart from other shoot 'em up games of its time is its unique transformation mechanic. Players have the ability to transform their spacecraft into three different forms: a jet, a robot, and a combined mode. Each form has its own advantages and drawbacks, offering players flexibility in adapting to different combat situations. The jet form provides increased speed and maneuverability, allowing players to dodge enemy attacks more easily. The robot form offers enhanced firepower, enabling players to unleash devastating barrages of bullets on their adversaries. The combined mode merges the strengths of both forms, offering a balance between speed and firepower. As players progress through the game, they encounter a diverse array of enemy types, each with their own attack patterns and behaviors. From agile fighter craft to massive boss enemies, TerrA Crest4 constantly challenges players to adapt and strategize to overcome increasingly difficult obstacles. Power-up items occasionally appear throughout the stages, granting players temporary enhancements such as upgraded weapons, shields, and bonus points. The primary goal of TerrA Crest4 is to survive for as long as possible while racking up points by destroying enemy forces. Players must navigate through multiple stages, each culminating in a challenging boss encounter. Successfully defeating these formidable bosses requires quick reflexes, precise aim, and strategic use of power-ups. Overall, TerrA Crest4 offers a thrilling and addictive arcade experience. Its blend of fast-paced action, strategic depth, and innovative gameplay mechanics solidifies its status as a beloved in the shoot 'em up genre. By pressing the second button the player can temporarily detach the currently equipped phases. If the player manages to collect all phases without losing any, the ship temporarily transforms into a flaming Phoenix and becomes invincible for the duration of the transformation. Beware with boss enemy. Good luck and enjoy!!
