About Commodore 64 Scramble 64
Scramble is an early side-scrolling shooter game released for arcades in 1981. The player controls a futuristic aircraft, referred to in the game as a “Jet”, and has to guide it across a scrolling terrain, battling obstacles along the way. The ship is armed with a forward-firing weapon and bombs; each weapon has its own button. The player must avoid colliding with the terrain and other enemies, while simultaneously maintaining its limited fuel supply which diminishes over time.[4] More fuel can be acquired by destroying fuel tanks in the game.
The game is divided into six sections, each with a different style of terrain and different obstacles. There is no intermission between each section; the game simply scrolls into the new terrain. Points are awarded based upon the number of seconds of being alive, and on destroying enemies and fuel tanks. In the final section, the player must destroy a “base”. Once this has been accomplished, a flag denoting a completed mission is posted at the bottom right of the screen. The game then repeats by returning to the first section once more, with a slight increase in difficulty.
Scramble Scoring
Per second the jet is in play: 10 points
Rockets: 50 points on ground, 80 in air
UFO ships: 100 points
Fuel tanks: 150 points
Mystery targets: 100, 200, or 300 points
Base at ends of levels: 800 points
The player is awarded an extra jet for scoring 10,000 points, and none more thereafter. A jet is lost upon contact with anything. Once the final jet is destroyed, the game is over.
You should also try out Scramble Infinite which is the remastered version of the original.
