Stainless Steel

Ricky Steel is a feared renegade with a mechanical arm to fire bullets, and
his Class A101 armoured yet amphibious Nightwind car is Stainless. He lives in
a Mad Max-inspired world, but Dr. Vardos has sent a horde of androids to
destroy it. Take control of Steel and stop this, in this Spy Hunter-style
vertically scrolling road-based shooter.

The game is split into four sections. You begin on foot, and must travel up
the screen to reach the Nightwind. Helicopters and other foes must be shot or
avoided, and their bullets avoided. You then enter your vehicle and drive up
the screen, dealing with similar hazards. The controls involve pushing forward
to accelerate and pushing down to reverse. Level 2 involves taking to the
water, attacking submarines using bombs. The final showdown involves hunting
down and killing Vardos, despite the attentions of animal-shaped asteroids and
other hazards.

The scanner along the bottom of the screen is crucial to spotting foes as they
approach. You have a limited shield, turned on and off by pressing space, and
limited fuel which is recharged by collecting fuel circles which float by.
