RAPTOR

RAPTOR — Remote Armored Penetration Tactical Operations Robot — is an original first-person tank-combat game for ColecoVision, in the spirit of Robotank and Battlezone. You command an armored robot on an open field, viewing the battlefield through a fixed gunsight as the horizon scrolls and rotates around you. A hostile enemy tank roams the full 360° arena with autonomous AI — it seeks you out, turns to face and fire when it has the shot, and flees when it's hurt, escalating with adjustable aggression. Drive forward and back to close range or retreat, swing your view to track targets across the horizon, and fire before it does. Radar stations and mobile rocket launchers appear at the far horizon as bonus targets you must advance on to destroy. Damage shows on the enemy hull, hits trigger multi-stage explosions with layered sound, and the rumble of your drive tracks fills the field. One-player, joystick-controlled, with an intro screen and get-ready sequence.
