The Belgian developer Kristof Tuts has recently provided a beta version of its Vector Patrols to test. The me present trial is already making a very good, stable impression. Despite the completely different display options, the implementation is graphically re amazingly close to the original Moon Patrol. In particular, the Parallax-Scrolling, the 1982 a real eye-catcher was, is reacted fine with a total of three levels and the depth effect is good out. All of Moon Patrol ago known game elements are included, ranging from craters, UFOs with shots and bombs, of, Tanks and some more. Here the first foretaste of a screenshot Vector Patrol with color film. More screenshots are on Kristof's website.
