Snipes description

Magnificent ancient arcade shooter with no plot worked out (thankfully!). You – a soldier who is in a certain building, filled with generators, creating evil creatures in the form of green faces. Your task is to destroy these creatures, and the generators themselves (the latter is much more important, of course); the very beings, of course, will you actively resist (including leading the fight in the distance).

Have the ability to move and shoot in eight different directions, but each of these actions has its own button, which makes control extremely difficult (on the other hand, you can shoot in one direction while moving in another!). The lives of a few, and levels of difficulty. Statistics are, however, a real account, as there is no time limit.

What is the complexity of higher – the more enemies and the stronger they are; in addition, at the highest difficulty level, you cannot touch the walls, otherwise the character will die and the enemy and your bullets can penetrate walls and bounce (so you can actually kill yourself). The complexity is expressed in number of generators and involvement levels (although their structure at any level of difficulty not the easiest). Finally, at the highest level of difficulties there are still "ghosts" - they appear after destroying enemies. They deliberately do not pursue you, but they are annoying and interfere with normal travel.

Graphics – there. And if you remember the year of release – it seems incredible, let our hero looks like a ridiculous white bird muzzle. The game itself is very challenging even on the easy level, but to play it you should definitely, because it's a living classic (no exaggeration), may not become as popular as many other games of those years.

PS: This was the first game in history in which a few people later played on a local network with each other.
