Arcade Flyer Art Saturday: Tunnel Hunt

Tunnel Hunt was created in 1981 by Centuri and was licensed by Atari for use in arcades. The gameplay was rather dull and consisted of moving a crosshair around the screen to shoot enemies coming at you from the distance. These enemy ships bear a striking resemblance to Darth Vader's Tie Fighter and the farther away they are when you shoot them, the more points you would get. The ships would fire missiles at you that you would then have to blow up before they made impact with your "ship". But don't think you can just hold the fire button down and blast everything that comes at you. Your lasers have a meter and can overheat causing you to be unable to fire for a few seconds until they cooled down again. More »
