It's a jungle out there. In SAS Combat your soldier is taking on all comers, with a smoking gun to greet them. The game is somewhat reminiscent of Ikari Warriors. Your trooper has to make his way through a scrolling landscape, gunning down bad guys and lobbing grenades. There are one or two bonuses scattered around the battlefield. Picking these up gives you power-ups, the most useful of which is a jeep. In this, you're invulnerable against bullets, and only a grenade can kill you. At first the game area scrolls from right to left, but at a certain point it switches to vertically scrolling. As well as soldiers to slaughter, there are gun towers to contend with. On the upwards-scrolling section a train makes the odd appearance. This can be destroyed for extra points. On reaching the end of the level, play switches to a gun-less combat section. Here the viewpoint switches to side-on, and you have to get from left to right. This time the enemy cannot be avoided, and pinpoint accuracy is needed to knife them in the guts (ug! - ed). This part of the game contrasts heavily The graphics are blocky, bold and bright throughout. SAS Combat is perhaps the weakest of the lot, but that's not to say it's a bad game. If falls just slightly short of the mark compared to the others in the collection. AA |
