TRENCHFOOT

Trenchfoot is a WWI first-person shooter game based on the machine gunners and trench warefare in the Great War. The basic game constructs are based upon on the styles of Centipede and Space Invaders. This 2600 demo is meant to take the top-down shooter concept replace the sliding bottom shooter (like Space Invaders) with a rotating, fixed-point gun station (as in Asteroids). Invading forces will come from the top down to the bottom of the screen. The user will use the joystick to aim his machine gun left and right and, by killing the oncoming forces, collect as many points as possible. Points are subtracted as opposing forces reach the bottom (player's base).

On the bottom of the screen is the player's score and machine gun status. As the player shoots more quickly, ammunition can not be loaded fast enough, and the ammo meter will drop. The red bar represents the heat of the barrel, and the machine gun will not fire if it overheats.
