## Description
_Bounder and Planet Search_ is a collection of two games that only appeared
on compilations for the Commodore 16 and the games were:
Bounder: In this top view vertical scrolling platform game, you control a
tennis ball that bounces up and down, and you must get from one end of a level
to the other end over various levels. Each level is high in the air and you
must keep the ball on solid platforms while avoiding the obstacles, gaps and
aliens and if you touch an alien or obstacle, or fall off the platforms then
you lose one of six lives. Certain platforms give you bonuses, let you bounce
further or teleport you to new parts of the level. At the end of a level you
play a bonus stage where you have to land on as many question marks as you
can.
Planet Search: You are lost in a distant Galaxy and the only way home is to
fly over the surface of eight planets to finally reach your goal. In this side
view scrolling shooter you must blast a certain amount of aliens on each
planet that appears. Above the playing area is a scanner showing the positions
of the aliens and you can fly either to the right or the left to find and
blast them. Each destroyed alien leaves behind an egg and this must be
collected before it hatches into another alien. If you touch an alien then you
lose part of a shield, take too many hits and your scanner stops working
before you lose one of three lives. Once you have completed a level you must
fly through a side view tunnel to get to the next planet and if you touch the
sides then you are sent back to the last planet.
