Description - Gridfire



Gridfire is a remake of Crossfire and my entry in the 2006 edition of the Retro Remakes competition. The original is by Jay Sullivan and Chuck Benton and was published for the Commodore 64 by Sierra On-Line in 1983. A nice overview of Crossfire and related games can be found in issue #14 of Retrogaming Times Monthly ("The Many Faces of... Targ/Crossfire"). I found their detailed description of Crossfire very useful in writing this game. The aim is to destroy creatures that are invading a city, using a ship that offers movement and firing in four directions. Make sure to collect the ammo bonus once your supply of bullets (as displayed in the lower right corner of the screen) is running low. As can be learned from the Retro Remakes competition results, Gridfire ended up on the 20th place (out of 76 entrants), scoring 55%. The reviews of all games can be read through the above link, and the games can be downloaded here.
