Colony 7

Released: 1981

Pitch: Use your cannons and rockets to save Colony 7 from alien attack.

Colony 7 plays like a cross between Missile Command and Space Invaders. Your goal is to protect a set of buildings behind a layer of shielding. You move a cursor around the screen with two cannons on the side firing wherever you point. Instead of coming down from the top of the screen, the bad guys fly in from the background, which is a cool graphical effect that really keeps you on your toes. The game is fine but very hard and I found myself wishing I was playing either Missile Command or Space Invaders instead.

Neat. I vaguely remember playing this and probably having the same experience as you. I like Taito's mash-ups of more popular games. It's interesting and creative, if not always as enjoyable.

Looked up a YouTube video and love that an enemy is named Bummer. I'm also convinced these sfx were used in several dubstep songs.
