Mark Plays… Tubular Worlds (PC / MS-DOS / Amiga / 1994)

I was going to play the Amiga game but that kept on crashing on me so I chose to do the PC version instead which is very similar if not identical.
A great R-type/Nemesis/Gradius like shoot’m up for PC and Amiga systems. Very nice smooth scrolling and a wonderful use of the 256 colours of the VGA palette. It spreads around 4 levels (worlds), has a nice weapons upgrade system comparable to that of Konami and Compile shooters. Nice soundtrack and great sound FX using the wonderful Sounblaster and FM synthesis.
A two player mode is optional but I was unable to show you that as I didn’t have a second player available to me.
The game is controlled through either mouse, joystick or keyboard
