Blue Max – Commodore 64
Blue Max is a scrolling shooter released for the Commodore 64 in 1983. The player controls a Sopwith Camel biplane during World War I, attempting to shoot down enemy planes and bomb targets on diagonally scrolling terrain.
The game is divided into several areas, each one ending with a runway where the player should land. Each area contains various targets to destroy, including warships in the river that fire flak, tanks, bridges, buildings, and enemy biplanes which appear occasionally in front or behind and shoot at the player’s aircraft.
It takes a little while to master the single stick, single button control setup, but once you do, this game is highly addictive.
