Fixed Shooter w/ Decent but Repeitive Fast Moving Action as fast as you can Push the Sprayer
Decided to play an Intellivsion exclusive recommended by Atari Age Forum Post and yeah i like this ok, its like space invaders kinda but its sideways... and rather than rolling back and forth and shooting at you, they are just doing a beeline for your Corn ("cities", in terms of space invaders)

Mostly its just inch worms but if you keep shooting fast enough the other stuff actually doesn't even show up..
Each Stage gets faster and faster. You have secondary 'bombs' that are wider arc of fire and go through enemies to kill the next behind it, but otherwise arent that useful. Your corn regrows over time if you can protect it.
as the game gets faster you get limited to protecting a single stack of corn.
Ultimately, not bad game, it's a three star game that has repetitive music. (but at least HAS music) and really fast action. There is no real end to the game it seems (I managed to get to stage 16) This Horizontal Fixed Shooter was a first for me, so neat to see a new spin on an old, very-often-copied idea. So giving it an extra star for these thing., the fact it's an Intellivision exclusive, and that it beats most action oriented shooting games (by being so much faster) similar to it on the 2600 make it seem well deserved, however it does get a bit repetitive.
