In 1982-1987, Irem with licensing by Williams released the fantastically enjoyable game of' ' Moon Patrol ' for the Arcade gaming community. A side-scrolling shooter that is widely credited for the introduction of parallax scrolling in side-scrolling video games, as you drove a buggy across a landscape, jumping over ditches and rocks while also shooting at enemies both above and in front made this such a great game to play.
It was so popular in fact that many remember it on a multitude of home systems such as the Atari 800, 2600, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Dreamcast and Intellivision. So why are we mentioning this game you might ask? Well take a look at this excellent conversion of Moon Patrol on the Atari XL/XE; a newly titled Moon Patrol Redux by TIX. A new version which doesn't just feature new mountain backdrops, but a new moon city backdrop, a new starting base, new title screen, new tanks, mines etc, new colours and bug fixes introduced by the new buggy!
