Core

In CORE, the Federation’s asteroid colonies are under attack by an unknown alien force. As Mr Andrew Angello, you must investigate the devastated asteroid EROC 1 and recover bio-memory chips from its still-functioning Central Computer.

Explore four levels of caves, searching for equipment and batteries while avoiding booby traps that drain the power in Andrew’s backpack. If the energy runs out, he will suffocate. A spade is required to dig into the ground and uncover items.

This flick-screen, side-view game uses joystick controls for movement, with a downward press to pick up objects or dig. An information bar displays available directions, time, backpack power, and save-game icons.
