1982

1982 is a retro arcade action game in which the player fights enemies reminiscent of those from early-1980s home computers and arcade games. Arcade mode features 50 progressively difficult levels; Survivor challenges the player to score as much as possible with one life, while Time Attack sets a three-minute limit for earning points.

The player's ship destroys enemies and collects four types of power-ups: energy restores energy, lasers strengthen its weapons, rockets provide an additional attack, and shields protect against impacts. Power-ups can also be shot down, producing different effects depending on their type, while catching one before it hits the ground increases its effect. Enemy kills earn points multiplied by the current score multiplier, which rises with quick kill streaks and falls when enemies are left alone.
