Skramble - Anirog

Commodore 16, Commodore 64, Vic 20

Skramble was released in 1983, and was Anirog's take on the popular Konami arcade game of a rather similar name (!), and featured six levels of action flying your craft through treacherous caves, destroying outposts and incomming missiles, and other obstacles. You had to fly your ship over the rugged terrain, and through all manner of underground caves and complexes, generally trying to stay alive as long as possible, while still making sure you have enough fuel to carry on replenishing your supplies along the way!

The game was simple enough, and the graphics and sound weren't too spectacular, even for the time, but it was still great fun and I guess that's why it's still appealing today. While the game doesn't offer a great challenge to hardened gamers, and can be completed all too easily, it's still fun to play.

The Vic 20 version of this game was released under the slightly different name of Scramble.
