Moon Patrol
Irem 1982
This absolute classic 'Golden Age' arcade game from Irem (distributed in the USA by Williams), holds the honour of being the very first arcade game to feature parallax scrolling! But that's not what you came for... you're here to play this awesomely addictive game in a real arcade - as it was intended. I still remember my first time playing Moon Patrol. It was located in a squash centre, and I would bring along a few 20c coins to play while my older sister was playing in local Squash comps. The game mixes the perfect formula of easy to learn gameplay - jump craters while shooting obstacles in front and aliens above - while easing you into the game progressively in a way that you improve a little each time you play. Loads of fun and massively addictive! Player drives a moon buggy jumping over craters, rocks and land mines, shooting simultaneously at rocks in front and aliens above while dodging their missiles. Features very catchy background music and cute bouncing tires when the buggy is destroyed. Foreground and background terrain scroll at different rates giving the illusion of depth. Other machines made by Irem during the time period Moon Patrol was produced include: Demoneye-X, Red Alert, Andromeda, Panther, Sky Chuter, Zippy Race, Traverse USA, Tropical Angel, Lode Runner, and Spartan X
