Actual Entry (non editable)
Colony 7 (c) 1981 Taito. The player must defend Colony 7 from alien attack by either using the main weapons that fire shots, a Mega-Blaster which knocks out targets near the detonation zone, or with the Eradicator that acts as a smartbomb which clears the entire screen. There is an ion shield which provides temporary safety for the colony below, but can be blasted away by alien fire. Colony 7 is in many ways a combination of two of the most popular shoot 'em up games of the time, containing elements of both Tehkan's Pleiads and Atari's Missile Command. The main innovation of Colony 7 was the extended weaponry arsenal. This gave the player the choice to change between several different weapons, with the the Eradicator needing to be purchased separately as "extended weaponry". - TECHNICAL - Prom Stickers : CS01-CS11 Main CPU : Motorola M6809 (@ 1 Mhz) Sound CPU : M6808 (@ 894.75 Khz) Sound Chips : DAC Players : 2 Control : 8-way joystick Buttons : 3 => [1] FIRE, [2] MEGABLASTER, [3] ERADICATOR - TRIVIA - Colony 7 was released in May 1981. - SCORING - Fighter : 25-250 points Scout : 100 points Bummer : 100-1000 points Advisor : 500-5000 points - TIPS AND TRICKS - * The Megablaster destroys enemies in a wide area.
