Description
The third instalment of Invasion of the Blobocytes is here.
We knew they would come back again (you need three games to make a trilogy). As I had the sprites, objects and a sequel is so much easier than starting from scratch but there are new enemies, new weapons and pretty pictures of Dundee to look at as you dodge bullets while trying to destroy the brain Blobocyte.
The Blobocytes are trying to invade Dundee again.
Your ship is still fast and agile. You still have your dual direction gun and a new weapon the bomb, they may move slowly but it packs five times the damage of your gun.
Again you must defeat eight different Blobocyte attacks, they will learn from their mistakes so each attack will be more severe.
Important information
-
Aim for the brain (the glowing Blobocyte)
-
The Blobocytes have perfected their armour which glows blue when it absorbs your shots.
-
The Blobocytes/armour hybrid can only be destroyed with bombs
-
Beware of the homing blobocytes, you will hear a pop as they are fired.
-
Your ship will survive a collision with a Blobocyte but their bullets will damage your shields.
-
Four hits and it’s game over.
Level codes
After you win the third battle you will start to receive two letter codes to replay the next battle without having to start from the beginning as things start to get rather hectic.
This is not a great game or the start of a multi billion dollar franchise but it was made and features Dundee.
It was made to promote The Dundee Gaming Tour that tells the story of Dundee’s pivotal role in the gaming industry.
Dundee doesn't have a gaming museum despite being:
- Where millions of ZX Spectrum 8 bit computers were made
- Where Lemmings one of the most original 16 bit games was created
- Where the Grand Theft Auto franchise began
- Where Minecraft was ported from the PC to the consoles
I can't build a museum but I can give a guided walking tour with many amusing stories, fun facts and some artifacts from the days of 8 bit gaming.
