Scythe asked for it and here it is. Sometimes I feel like the forum search engine...
Another remake of a classic arcade game:
"Player drives a moon buggy jumping over craters, rocks and land mines, shooting simultaneously at rocks in front and aliens above while dodging their missiles. The object is to complete the varying legs of the patrol course as quickly as you can while avoiding rocks, craters, mines, and attacks from enemy craft. Your buggy has two guns: a short-range cannon that fires ahead of you and an anti-aircraft gun that fires upwards. You can use the cannon to blast away rocks that block your progress. Most rocks will crumble in one hit, but large ones will need two hits. There are also tiny rocks that can only be destroyed with precision shooting (otherwise, you will have to jump it)." (from the readme file)
Moon Patrol is an old favorite of mine, so it's very hard for me not to like this remake. It retains the simplicity of the original game but has all new maps and concepts. You jump and shoot your way through the constantly side scrolling game, putting your arcade skills to the test. You'll need pretty good skills to get far though.
The new features are nice, such as the possibility of saving your game once you earn enough points, making it much easier to see the later stages.
A very nice remake of a true arcade classic. Technically everything works fine and I couldn't see any bugs or great flaws.
Of course it isn't terribly exciting and the basic concept is very simple, but it has all the features that were included in the original game and even some new features (like the possibility to save when you have enough points). Can't say if the level design is new or if it was taken from the original "Moon Patrol" as I don't remember the old game too well.
Graphics and music are ok, nothing special, but also nothing to complain about.
