Ambush
Description
Ambush is a game in which the player controls a spacecraft under attack by various other suicidal spacecrafts. The enemy attacks with one ship at a time at random intervals from the four cardinal directions. The player must fire in the correct direction to hit the enemy and take them out. The player has limited ammunition so the room for error is limited. The game ends when either the player is hit or all enemy ships have been destroyed. The player can choose between fighting 10 or 100 enemies.
The DIY console version of the game features an LED display and sound effects.
