Rock Crush for the ZX81 Highretrogamelord 2024-10-16 | Came also out for: --- Game description:Rock Crush is a variant of Boulder Dash. The player controls Diamond Dan who must be navigated through ten different caverns while collecting all the diamonds he finds. At the same time the player has to watch out for rocks. Standing under a rock for more than a short moment will lead to Dan being crushed. Each level consists of a single screen. Since there is not much space to move in the player has to plan ahead. This makes the game more puzzle oriented than the original Boulder Dash since there is only one correct path to take through the level. Another difference is that there are no monsters. The only way to die is to be crushed by a rock. After four deaths the game is over. When stuck the player can restart the level but that also leads to a life being lost.Website: https://rockcrush.onlineweb.shop/product/rock-crush-1985

The player does not play the Privateer, instead they play the captain of a British gunboat sent to track and sink Privateers.Stage 1:Before the player can engage the privateers they must deal with a shore battery. The game screen consists of a light blue sky and a dark blue sea and off to the left is a cliff upon which the dastardly French have built a gun battery. This represents Jutland, a part of Denmark, which overlooks the passage between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. The player controls a small gunboat that is randomly placed on the sea. The game asks for two numbers, an elevation, which controls the range of your shot, and the delay which is how long after firing before your shell explodes. When both numbers have been entered and the shell has fired, a graphic shows the track of the projectile. If the fuse is too short then the shell will explode in mid air. If the elevation is hopelessly wrong the shell will fall short or explode high above the French battery. If the shell is close to the battery then this alerts the guards and they will start shooting back. The game continues with both sides taking turns until one side is successful. If the player is successful then they progress to stage 2, otherwise it's back to the start of Stage 1 for another attempt.Stage 2:The game screen shows the players ship in red at the top of the screen and a series of privateers at the bottom of the screen moving left to right. The player must manoeuvre their ship close to the privateer and keep it close for two or three seconds. The ship's movement is controlled by the arrow keys. The objective is not to catch, nor to collide with, the privateer but to get within firing range. There are five privateers to catch and each turn is different because the wind conditions vary. Failure to catch any results in dismissal and the end of the game. Getting, and staying within range of the privateer triggers stage 3.Stage 3:The game screen changes and shows the privateer on the horizon. The privateer starts shooting almost immediately and scores hit after hit on the players gun boat. The player cannot return fire until their first mate, Mr Bush, reports that the guns are ready. Then the player aims their guns, using keys 1 - 9, and returns fire.
