Dogfight is an aerial combat video game written by Bill Basham for the Apple II and published by Microlab in 1980. The game is a clone of Atari, Inc.'s 1975 arcade game Jet Fighter. The player controls an aircraft that always moves in the direction is it pointed and can be rotated left or right and shoot. The screen wraps around at the edges, such that a player heading off the right edge of the screen will re-enter from the left.
Players can play solo against the computer or up to 8 humans can play against each other. Since all control is via the single built-in keyboard of the Apple II, this involves the players crowding up against each other to reach their 3 keys. Each plane is identified by a number drawn next to it.
When a plane is shot, it becomes a parachuting figure, which transits the screen from top to bottom a few times and also may be shot. |
