Ah Radar Scope, the game that tripped (in the states anyways) so that Donkey Kong could run the marathon. It's fine by itself, it just dropped at a bad time. A shame that's Radar Scope's place in video game history, but it getting remembered for something is an achievement in and of itself.
It's honestly nothing much, it's got a neat perspective that hides some very basic gameplay. Captain, your mission is to shoot down 48 UFOs. Good luck. You're shooting ships that shoot at you and as the levels go on more will come at you at once, they'll drop bombs, there's a little jumpy guy on the bottom that can come at you if you think you can safespot in the corner forever..my only real complaint is that their angled shots combined with the perspective can make both dodging and shooting a little tricky compared to the straightforward Space Invaders.
It's a shame Nintendo doesn't ever rerelease games like this and Sheriff, glimpses into Nintendo's gaming history before the Kong should be shown more often. Radar Scope is, at the very least, a little novelty.
