Godzilla is a unlicensed 1988 Hungarian video game developed for the Commodore 16 and Plus/4 by Kosir Attila. It was distributed by Novotrade and then re-released by DELTASoft.
Story[]
Godzilla, being chased by unknown enemies, has reached a ghostly, deserted landscape lined with cross-shaped tombstones in varied states of disrepair.
Gameplay[]
Godzilla is a simple, endless game of avoiding taking hits from obstacles and enemies in a scrolling field. The first level introduces ground spikes, which can be jumped over. The second level introduces a UFO-like object that flies toward Godzilla's head, which can be eaten. The third level introduces a giant bee that heads toward the back of Godzilla's head, and is defeated by using fire breath. Finally, the fourth level introduces a space shuttle-like object that cruises on the ground, which can be jumped over.
Godzilla uses the A and S keys to move to the left and right, respectively. He can move while performing any other move. The X button allows him to jump, 9 makes him breathe fire, and I causes him to chomp down on an incoming flying enemy. He cannot use this move or the fire breath again until he finishes chewing.
Godzilla has 6 lives, and once they're gone the player has to start over. The game awards points for keeping Godzilla alive, although it doesn't keep track of high scores.
The game itself is completely silent, save for a brief voice sample when the game is started, and a loud, static-filled roar that Godzilla utters whenever he gets hit by an object.
Cheats[]
- >5F6E AD: Unlimited lives.
- >5F50 60: Invulnerability.
Bugs[]
- The game contains an error known as the $FF28 Bug, which rewrites some memory addresses, but doesn't appear to affect anything other than how the title screen looks.
- After stage 9 is completed, level : (colon) starts, as it is the character that comes after 9. The game has no end, and the stage number will go through all the characters before wrapping around to 0 and back to 1.
