Cyber Rats
When relentless swarms of metallic rats start terrorising the neighbourhood,
the call is put out to find someone who can try to put a halt to this unending
rodent menace. Maybe you’ll fare better than most.
With a gameplay mechanic very similar to the various Centipede games, the
player controls a gun that can move across the bottom of the screen. However,
unlike Centipede where the enemies are long segmented creatures that could be
shot into smaller components that would then individually precede down the
screen, in Cyber Rats the enemy starts off as single entities. And similar to
the mushroom littered playing field of Centipede, here the playing field
contains random pieces of grass that the rats will deflect downwards from if
their side-to-side progression down the screen causes them to encounter them.
Destroy each wave and the game will progress and another wave of rats will
instantly appear on screen. Just keep on playing, racking up a high score,
until you run out of lives.
