Blood Money description

The biggest unanswered question is "Where is the money?..."
From the Intro to the Amiga version of the game

...in fact, it turns out immediately after killing the first enemy. Money, as it turns out, comes in the form of coins from their downed carcasses, and we are left to collect them, trying not to crash into walls and not to fall under enemy fire. Naturally, we should not forget to water the enemy fire from all available guns.

Three previous proposals have already can easily guess what genre is the game. Yes, it's an arcade scrolling shooter. With the side view, as in R-Type or Stargunner. Although flying will not only in the horizontal plane and the vertical levels have transitions.

At the beginning of the game we offer a choice of 4 vehicles: helicopter, submarine, space suit with a jetpack and a space fighter. However, the last two tools in the beginning of the game simply did not have enough money, because we have at this point only two hundred conventional units. Each of the units corresponds to your level: for helicopter in outer space, a submarine - under the water (amazing, isn't it?), to suit - in some airless cave for the fighter - in a strange place with a certain degree of conditionality can be mistaken for another planet. At the end of each level by tradition, will fight with the boss.

To spend collected coins in occurring at the level of the shops - to buy more powerful weapon or extra life. It would be clearly superfluous, since, in addition to flying/running/floating enemies and stationary guns in the game enough and unpleasant places, where you have to slip in the narrow gap between the convergent-divergent flaps, rotating platforms and similar pieces. And since every collision with a wall or an enemy shell hit and takes so few units of energy, the importance of extra lives is difficult to overestimate.

About graphics and sound we can say little - they are. In principle, the average level of 1990, when both left the game. Despite the fact that in the settings menu there is a item "EGA/VGA is selected", the picture always remains a 16-color. Gunshots and the sound of the collision represent the bleeps of PC-speaker'a.

Summary: if you want to enjoy this game fully, find a better version for the Amiga. When you save the gameplay, it has much better graphics and tracker music. If you are not afraid of lack of it - feel free to download and play. And to me, still dearer vertical scrollers (Hello, Xenon and Tyrian)...
