Saucer Attack

Saucer Attack

"Saucer Attack" is a computer game for the Commodore 64, created by James D. Sachs.

The game is a shoot'em up where the player's job is to protect Washington, D.C. from invading flying saucers. The game screen presents a beautifully drawn backdrop of Washington, with various landmarks such as the Washington Monument visible. After a while, flying saucers start to descend from the top of the screen. The player has to move a crosshair at the saucers and fire bullets to destroy them. If allowed to proceed unharmed, saucers will hover near a famous landmark and shoot a beam of electricity at it, eventually destroying it. If all landmarks are destroyed, the game is lost.

James D. Sachs later continued his computer graphics career by drawing the backdrop graphics of Cinemaware's "Defender of the Crown" and the start-up animation of the Amiga CD32 games console, as well as creating the SereneScreen Marine Aquarium.
