Triclops Invasion description
Vintage and very rare game originally released for QNX and then ported to the IBM PC and Amiga; the exact method of distribution is unknown.
The game starts by building the 3D world map After building the worlds the game creates the city that the Triclops will attack The game begins. The player's jet is in the foreground and the Triclops walker is ahead and to the right The Crosshair view is one of the alternate viewpoints
The genre of this thing can be formally named action-fly, but in fact very complex management puts it virtually on a par with the average simulator. There is a conditional plot: the Earth was invaded by aliens, who need to win. Anoplate themselves to fight with people who don't want to, so drop down to the surface of the machine-the walkers (a reference to the "War of the worlds" by Hg wells, although the machines themselves are more like the walkers from "Star wars" than the tripods from the novel by the great science fiction, even if they have three legs instead of four).
Here the Triclops is attacking The player can adjust the level of fractal detail used to render the landscape. It just takes a while to draw it This is the city as viewed from the Triclops deathstar
As such missions in the game - every run is something like "combat round". Under your control is the plane, in case of its destruction will be given two more attempts (i.e., two consecutive plane). To win you need five pieces of enemy combat vehicles, for which each you have to hit accurate hits all three legs and battle tower, from which you are shooting. In the case of the destruction of the five "shred" the round is won (and the planet (in the story) saved), followed by the offer to replay the game.
A summary of the keyboard commands.
The action is made in CGA graphics, but with very unusual combinations of colors and in a very strange pseudo manner. In fact, this decision further complicates the game, because sometimes it's hard to understand what is happening on the screen. And we note again that Triclops Invasion is not necessary to record in arcade: here even for the beginning of the ceasefire there is a special button, so "just fly and shoot" will not work. However, the "just fly" can get - the game has a special mode where you can disable the activity of enemies and just what to fly over the local landscape, but the pleasure of this little. But a very nice innovation is the ability to record the likeness of the movie about his fight with shred then watch it.
Overall - a pretty interesting game for fans of old battles, though challenging. Also, do not forget about her huge collectible and objective values.
