Eagle Empire
1984 Alligata Software

Most text of the present article comes from the feature on arcade conversions by Julian Rignall, as published in the third issue of the British C64 magazine ZZAP!64 (July 1985)
 

 

EAGLE EMPIRE
Alligata, £7.95 cass, joystick and keys

Anyone who frequented the arcades a few years ago will remember Phoenix. This excellent conversion to the 64 by the author of Guardian is again accurate to the tiniest detail.

The game puts you against five waves of the Eagle Empire, climaxing with the giant Eagle fortress. The first two screens present you with Galaxian-type birds making kamikaze attacks on your craft. The next two screens look harmless at first, just eggs floating about on the screen. But! These hatch into giant eagles which swoop and attack you in horrific fashion.

After this is the Great Mothership. Destroy this and move on to the next challenging level.

Sound is pretty disappointing, nothing like the screams and explosions of the original.
