The Guns of Navarone

The Guns of Navarone is a gallery shooter where the player operates a stationary turret to defend against waves of enemy aircraft and naval vessels. The objective is to destroy incoming threats before they reach and damage the player's position. The game features a fixed-screen perspective with enemy units approaching from the top, requiring timely reactions to eliminate them. The gameplay emphasizes reflexes and accuracy, with increasing difficulty as the game progresses.

The game is loosely inspired by the 1961 film "The Guns of Navarone," which is based on Alistair MacLean's novel. While the game does not follow the film's narrative, it adopts the theme of defending against enemy forces using heavy artillery. The Guns of Navarone was part of the "Super 7" compilation, a collection of games released for the BBC Micro.
