Hover Attack

Hover Attack is a side-view robot shooter in which you pilot an Attacker and try to destroy the target at the end of the game while fighting enemies. Your Attacker has limited ammunition, so you must return to your Carrier to replenish it. The game ends if the Carrier is hit by a certain number of bullets, making it important to keep it in a safe place.

Attacker and Carrier

The Attacker rides the Carrier, and the two must work together to survive. Enemies can also deploy Attackers and Carriers, which you must destroy. The game sits between a one-on-one fighting game and a side-scrolling beat 'em up.

Included versions

The game includes three versions:

• I/O version: a port of the original.
• Full version: a port of the original.
• The Ultimate Evolution version: a substantially rearranged version.

Construction and mods

The game also includes the Construction yesterday. Mods are supported, allowing you to create and play in custom worlds.

Origins

The original story was first published in 1984 in the PC magazine I/O, published by Kogaku-sha. Its popularity led to ports for a number of consoles and later to a commercial release. A more powerful version followed, along with ports for most of the major 8-bit PCs of the time.
