Review - Space Fury (Arcade, 1981)
This review is part of a series focused on games I spent time with during my most recent trip to Funspot. To view the complete list so far, click the Funspot tag at the end of this post!
Sega's 1981 arcade title Space Fury is a vector-graphics shooter in which players pilot a spaceship against waves of enemy fighters commanded by a large-brained alien overlord. The game uses the same control scheme as Atari's 1979 hit Asteroids; two buttons rotate the player's ship left and right, a third fires, and a fourth controls the ship's forward thrust. Ships wrap around the edges of the screen and things quickly get pretty chaotic. Unlike Asteroids, players can upgrade their weapons between stages, giving each wave a unique feel.
