Hales/Tomy handheld version of Scamble. My first computer game.
My very first Computer game, and the absolute pinnacle of Vacuum fluorescent display Graphics (well for a 3 – 6 year old at the time) This was the handheld/tabletop version of Scramble, a classic horizontal shoot ‘em up/shmup that spawned a whole generation and Genre of left to right Astro Blasting action games. I drew this animation a while ago but I thought it was time to upload the Pixel art design to my online shops. This animation is a small example of the gameplay. I always loved the music and the in game sound effects. A really fun game for its time, all the way back in 1981/2/3/????
I made some items with my wearable pixel art design available here:-
