Canyon Bomber

Review

This cart features two shooting gallery style games where you fly over and drop bombs. The game is played with the paddle controls and has support for a second player. In the first mode you drop your bombs into colored bricks in a canyon. The bombs pierce through some of the bricks on the way down. The lower bricks are worth more. If you clear all the bricks, they reset and you continue playing. Your goal is to get a higher score than the computer or the second player. You don't really have any control with the spinner in this one. I believe it could be played with a joystick as well. All you can do is time your firing. In the sea bomber mode, you are targeting ships traveling in the water below. You use the spinner to move the line, selecting your target depth. You then fire a timed shot to hit a ship at that depth. The first person to reach a score of 1000 wins. The canyon bomber mode was fun as a single player challenge to try to rack up a high score. Both modes produced some decent multiplayer action. The lack of a high score metric in the second mode made it less entertaining as a single player game.
