![]() Like, seriously, this might be the most deceptively complicated game of the early 80s. ![]() It sounds simple, and it is, but for such a mundane-sounding game, it throws in more twists than any other gallery shooter would have for a couple YEARS. The game keeps going until you run out of ammo. ![]() If you allow too many targets to pass through all the rows, more targets will spawn. Shoot all the targets and you collect a 50 point bonus for every bullet you have left and move on to the next stage. In Carnival, there’s three rows of targets to shoot, with a sliding scoring-scale that goes from the top row to bottom row, and you have a limited amount of ammo. Perhaps the lack of remakes or re-releases is why this might be the most timeless of its breed from this time period. In a way, I get it: it wasn’t the biggest hit to begin with. We’re an awful species so it’d be right up our alley.Ĭarnival by Gremlin/Sega has not been re-released since 1982, when it was ported to the Atari 2600, Intellivision, and Colecovision. I’ve always wondered if anyone was hurt from ricochets or shattered glass from the pipes or if anyone ever shot one of the attendants in the balls, Home Alone-style. This is a tribute to the old-timey shooting galleries where you would shoot glass pipes and workers had to repaint the targets every day. And one that I think is the best in the entire genre for its era. I’ll get to the next one tomorrow, but for today, let’s look at a gallery shooter themed like. But, there are two gallery shooters from 1980 that are actually pretty good, so much so they hold up to the test of time without several BUTs or IFs or other assorted asterisks. But, even after those, there’s games like Galaxian, Galaga, Radar Scope, etc, where gaming has come so far that I just can’t get into them. Those make searching through my MAME library such a delight. First, there’s tons of actual clones that copied the game beat-for-beat, changing only the name. The worst for me are those gallery shooters that rode Space Invaders’ coattails. The dozens of platformers that followed Donkey Kong. The dozens of maze chases that followed Pac-Man.
