trivia
“Dropzone” is a shoot ’em up game by Archer Maclean.
This classic arcade game from 1984 was re-released by Codemasters for the Sega Game Gear in 1994.
The player controls a spaceman with a jet-pack, flying across a barren landscape whose skies are inhabited by a number of different aliens, from the simple Planter to the slowly advancing Blunder Storm or the quick, aggressive Nemesite.
Planters and Nemesites will try to pickup the small men walking on the surface, who must then be rescued.
The player has to shoot down the alien, while avoiding to hit the man.
Sometimes, the aliens will carry an android, which is similar to the human but deadly.
Care must be taken so as to not pick up the androids.
All men must be transported to a surface base, where they are put in safety – this is the Dropzone.
