Romstar, Inc., has introduced two
new kits-Arknoid and Empire City:
1931-licensed from Taito .
Arknoid players maneuver a
"Vaus" craft left and right in an effort
to shatter three wall sections (normal,
hard , and indestructible) with an
energy ball. The game includes 33
rounds of play in which players break
through the walls and get power-up
capsules that can expand the length of
the Vaus craft, enable the Vaus to fire
laser beams, or warp the player into
the next playfield, among other
results.
As walls are broken, "harmfuls"
creep through and must be eliminated
with the energy ball. The round is
cleared when all wall sections are
broken.
In Empire City: 1931 the player
becomes a Manhattan youth who
single-handedly fights the Mafia to
avenge his family's death.
The player begins with 170 bullets
and may add to the supply by hitting a
small box hidden in scenes of the
game. A gold bar inside the box adds
bonus points. The player must elude
the criminals trying to shoot him
down. On-screen arrows help locate
the gangsters. The ultimate goal is to
shoot the Mafia boss with one shot
before he shoots the player.
