Vanguard

 Home > Browse Our Collection > Software > Atari 2600 Software > Vanguard
 

Vanguard is similar to the game Scramble, in that the player controls a ship urged along a surrounding conduit and with a limited amount of fuel that constantly depletes. Unlike Scramble, fuel is replenished by destroying enemies, so running out of fuel is less common. Also unlike Scramble, some portions of Vanguard scroll vertically or diagonally.
