The briefing

About this game

Crossfire is an arcade-style action shooter adapted from Targ. You defend a city block laid out as a regular grid while alien beasts attack from every direction.

Your craft can move and fire simultaneously in four directions. Eliminate each wave to advance, while dodging enemy fire and collecting ammunition supplies when your stock runs low.

Scoring and Bonuses

  • Each level contains four bonus crystals that appear one at a time.
  • Each successive crystal is worth twice as much as the previous one.
  • The game begins with three ships.
  • A new ship is awarded for every 5,000 points scored.

Crossfire was released for Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Commodore Amiga, Commodore C64/128/MAX, Commodore VIC-20, DOS, and Sega Genesis.
