Bedlam 2 is a fast action, arcade-style game with forty-five levels of blistering game play. As you blast away at the invading forces, your ship moves along the bottom of the screen while you try to avoid a barrage of enemy firepower, collisions with attacking ships and the occasional chunk of floating space debris. By racking up points along the way, you earn much-needed extra ships, and can even capture hunks of gold bars released when you've demolished the ships of some of the greedy trespassers. Other fun and nasty surprises materialize during your long mission to free our galaxy from this evil infestation. Your first encounter with the alien aggressors begins near the outer-reaches of the solar system at the ninth planet, Pluto. If successful, you move inwards to Neptune and each planet thereafter, until you've kicked all alien butt completely out of our galaxy! Some of the cool sound effects in the game help you keep track of your weapon status and any helpful or dangerous objects that approach your territory. These include special weapon 'containers' that are periodically released for you to try and shoot open to free and then capture the extra-powerful ammo you need to pulverize your attackers. There is detailed and interesting information about each planet as you arrive at its defense, which helps illuminate our section of the universe for those who have a hard time keeping track of just how many planets are orbiting the sun. :-) This is the long awaited Carbonized update to Bedlam 2âтАЮ¢ having originally been released in 1997. Best of all the price is still only $15. What's New: Version 1.1.1: Improved ship controllability and ship firing Added temporary shields when ship appears Added ability to skip some of the game's transition screens  |  |
