Bad Moon Rising (C64)
A downloadable game
A European space expedition makes a very unexpected discovery - a secret hidden German base ... ON THE MOON!!
Can you help the European Space Agency astronauts evade capture in this epic multi-level disk-only action game for the C64?
You must survive interrogation, negotiate the German factory in your captured ship, blast your way through an Operation Wolf inspired level, escape through a shaft leading to the moons surface, battle over the surface of the moon in a beautifully parallaxed scrolling shoot 'em up level, reunite with your crew member in a sideways scrolling level and then punch and kick your way through the final beat'em up level.

Very nice adventure. Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 00:21:51. Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Nice graphics, good scenarios and sound. However I found the very first level (after the torture scene) really tough to get past those rotating fans. More practice recommended. It's a good game anyhow :)
Do not stick to the left side of the screen. Try to get to the middle so you cant be pressed to the wall. Using good Timing and some up or down corrections, you can let the scrolling do the rest, not even forward movement needed. Sometimes less is more... :-)
Glad you like it!
Cool game! Worth the few bucks.
