Battle Through Time is a computer game for the Commodore 64 computer, programmed by Ken Grant.[1] This video game is a side-scrolling ground-based shoot 'em up game drawing obvious influence from the arcade game Moon Patrol.
Gameplay
The basic gameplay is similar to Moon Patrol, in that the player has to drive a jeep through rough landscape and jump over potholes and obstacles, and shoot at enemies both on the ground and in the sky.[2] The player has to travel ten miles in each level before they can progress to the next one.[3]
Battle Through Time is themed after the most famous wars in the 20th century. It has seven levels, each with their own settings:
- World War I
- World War II
- The Korean War
- The Vietnam War
- World War III
- War Mutations,[4] an alien-looking landscape almost devoid of enemies, only riddled with obstacles
- In the Beginning, back to Stone Age, with a Tyrannosaurus rex as an end-of-level boss.
Each level has its own music theme, which consist of computer renditions of various famous melodies, such as Symphony #5 by Ludwig van Beethoven[4] and The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss the Younger, and contemporary classics such as the Darth Vader theme.
