Scramble

Scramble

The player controls a plane, called a "jet" in the game, and has to steer it over a scrolling terrain while fighting against obstacles. The ship is armed with a forward-firing gun and bombs; each weapon has its own button. The player must avoid collisions with the terrain and other enemies while maintaining his limited fuel supply, which decreases over time. More fuel can be obtained by destroying tanks in the game. The game is divided into six sections, each with a different type of terrain and different obstacles. There is no pause between each section; the game simply rolls into the new terrain. Points are awarded for the number of seconds survived, as well as for destroying enemies and fuel tanks. In the final section, the player must destroy a "base". When this is accomplished, a flag appears at the bottom right of the screen, indicating that the mission is complete. The game then continues by returning to the first section once again, with a slight increase in difficulty.
