Target Zone on Memotech MTX512

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Gameplay from Target Zone playing on the Memotech MTX512. Retro Gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's more a case of me speaking my thoughts while playing the games, many for the first time, and most for the first time in a very long time... so it's all a little spontaneous and random.
Predictably, as I never practice before recording, I usually play very badly.

Given that I am playing many of these games for the first time, and everything I say is completely off the cuff, you probably shouldn't take what I say overly seriously. The opinions that I express are my feelings at the time, but it's entirely possible that they would be different if I were to take the time to get to grips with the game.

However, given that these videos are intended to show that "first time experience", I believe they have some validity or merit.

Not a bad looking game, considering. Wonder why the bombs don't make any sound. The animation on the plane flying apart is pretty neat. It's neat to think that this type of game ended up turning into games like Gradius, Twin Bee, and Lifeforce.

@lettersfromtheleft The horizontal shooter seems to be one of the few genres that has survived from the very early arcades. Definitely a good thing in my book :)

is it just me or are there alot scramble type games on that system? ;)

[jango1968]

its harrier attack on the zx spectrum but not as good

[mdmax09]

I feel like this game's fun factor would raise considerbly if you played Top Gun's "Danger Zone" on a big 80's style boombox in the background. If no 80's style boombox is availible, a C64 SID chip rendition would be appropiate as well.....Just saying.

I like the sound effects...

[ReplayRetro]

Very smooth looking game, and the destruction effect is pretty cool, nice diversity of landscape but otherwise nothing to write home about, definitely not one of the better MTX512 games

This one looks very good. Very smooth animation and gameplay.

4:00 - 4:05 - DO A BARREL ROLL!!! :D

I'm surprised I got to use that in one of your vids. :P

Anyway: this is probably the first MTX512 game I haven't been impressed with. Looks fairly stale to me but then again, it might get more exciting later.

Good SWILL! :D

Indeed, Like the plane coming apart animation.
