Obscure Games: Return of the Mutant Space Bats of Doom

Platform: DOS
Year: 1995
Publisher: Pop Software
Developer: Pop Software

So, this is a sequel to the pretty cool Galaxian-ish DOS shooter, Invasion of the Mutant Space Bats of Doom. There's a few videos of that game up on Youtube already, though, so I'm skipping over it. This one's pretty quick, yeah, and I'm not all that good at the game, but hey, since when have I ever been good with one of these obscure games?

Any luck finding more obscure MS-DOS games? May I suggest Gate World or Spaced? Those games creeped me out as a kid with their obscurity!

@StrawberryGuy86 Gateworld's already been done, sorry. As for Spaced, I haven't even heard of that, so that's definately something I'm going to have to check out soon. I'm actually in the middle of working another FMV game... this time with actual FMV besides those tiny little monitors!

thanks for the video! i used to play the prequel since i was young " Invasion of the Mutant Space Bats of Doom" and i've been looking for this the last 2 years but cannot find it anywhere! Do you remember where you came across it?

[bobinator1992]

@Mangaroot Squakenet is a good place to start, it's a fairly decent abandonware search ring. If that doesn't work for you, get back to me and I'll hook you up.

Surprisingly elegant enemy formations in this game! I kind of want to play this.

What the hell was going on at 3:09?

[bobinator1992]

@Prinsdam I'm assuming it's some kind of bonus stage that I couldn't figure out. This video has a lot less annotations than I use put up, which would probably tell you that, but I was kind of being a lazy bastard by the time I put the video up, so eh.
