3D Monster Craze

Camputers Lynx - Released - 1983

3-D Monster Craze is 1st person perspective maze game where the aim is to collect seven keys as well as defuse bombs while avoiding monsters. The maze is made up of three floors which can be moved between by lifts and each key must be found in order. Once you find key one you then have to take it back to your starting position which then places a bomb in the maze. The bomb needs to be defused in a period of time before it explodes or you lose one of three lives. Once the bomb has been defused then you must find key one again before you can find key two and this is the sequence the keys must be collected for all seven keys. As you search the maze, monsters start to appear and a monster keeps appearing after a period of time. If you are caught by a monster then a life is lost but you are armed with a limited amount of grenades to throw. There are five skill levels (1-5) with one being the easiest.

One of the dams is on the bottom of the screen with the water on the left and you have to fly low and at the right speed to drop the bomb so it will bounce towards the dam and settle at the base of the dam before exploding. Below the water is a green bar which is the drop zone and the bomb can only be released over this. A flak gun on the top of the dam and the right of the dam fire diagonally upwards and you must avoid the flak and not hit the dam either or you lose one of three lives.

Lynx Invaders

Camputers Lynx - Released - 1983

Lynx Invaders is a clone of Space Invaders. Like in all other games of its kind, the player controls a laser base left and right down the bottom of the screen while blasting away at the aliens above. At the same time, the player has to avoid getting hit by the aliens' projectiles by taking cover behind four barriers that offer some protection. One difference from other Space Invaders variants is that each shot launches two projectiles, and therefore it's possible to take out two aliens in one go. Once all the aliens have been destroyed, the player moves on to the next wave, where things get tougher. There are three different alien types (plus the mystery ship) and they are worth different points depending on how far off they are. After all three lives of the player has been used up, the game is over. You are limited to two bullets on the screen at any one time, but can fire them separately if you tap the space bar quickly. Two extra lives can be won by reaching certain points milestones. The first one is about when you get to 5,000. The hordes of invaders start off lower down with each level. However, if you do really well then you get a new set of invaders (intended to be more fierce looking) and they start back up at the top again.

Mazeman

Camputers Lynx - Released - 1984

This version does not have any fruit. Once all dots have been collected the level is completed. The player earns points for eating dots and ghosts. The value of the ghosts increases for each additional one eaten. The game ends when all three lives have been lost.
