Damnation Alley

Arcade Racing Shooter Retro Singleplayer 2D Dynamic Endless

Damnation Alley. A tribute to the C64 classic Spy Hunter. ** Game updated 13/04/2024 **

Description

Damnation Alley is a tribute to the all time classic C64 game, Spy Hunter

Also featured is the Invade-A-load space invaders game that used to be playable while a game loaded from tape. Esc can be pressed at any time in that game to jump straight to the main game. Your mission is to traverse the former racing track called Damnation alley and deliver essential medical supplies to another city at the end of Zone 4. Due to years of disuse, there’s not much to see in any of the four zones, apart from several damaged areas from the nuclear war of 50 years earlier. There are, however, numerous hazards on the way, such as groups of annoying bikers, former police cars that try and maintain order, custom vehicles with tyre shredders built into their wheels and some heavily armoured cars that you should try and avoid wherever possible. The state will pay out bounties on certain vehicles due to their crime of trying to prevent you doing your duty. Former police are also considered outlaws, and fair-game, should they interfere with your important task. You are fully authorised to take out any vehicle that stands between you and your destination apart from civilian vehicles. Should you destroy one of those with your guns then you will incur a penalty preventing additional bonuses for a short time, so you are discouraged from this course of action. In order to help you on your journey there are several state-funded shops that will let you have a weapon of your choice to use in conjunction with your guns. Smoke will block visibility of trailing vehicles and likely force them to drive into something they shouldn’t - like a lake. Oil has a similar effect but it’s got further consequences of also spinning the vehicle out so it can potentially cause further damage before the affected vehicle actually impacts something destructive. If you would prefer to just lay bombs behind you as you drive then feel free to choose that option but be warned: the police cars don’t like it. The state would remind you that while the use of weapons is authorised, there are cost penalties for using them. Namely the reduction of your bonus for completion of the mission - should you actually reach the end of Zone 4 and deliver the supplies. “We do not expect you to complete your mission, and we expect you will probably die on the way. The state does thank you for your service, regardless!”
