Descpription:
Escape From The Planet Of The Robot Monsters
is a one or two-player game in which the players must rescue Dr. Sarah
Bellum from Planet X, where her research facility has been taken over by
the evil Reptilons. The game is played from an isometric perspective,
and players control their avatars using Hall effect joysticks on the arcade version.
The player must shoot their way through a series of simple maze-like levels, releasing
the human hostages along the way. Levers must be found and thrown to activate the
escalators which allow access to new areas. Gems can be collected to increase the
power of the player's ray gun, and food lockers may be broken into for a health boost.
At the end of each level the play switches to an isometric auto-scrolling
sequence in which the player controls his character in a small spaceship,
and must steer left or right to navigate through a maze of obstacles.
If the player reaches the end of this sequence they will progress to the next level.
