Awesome Retro Games: Armalyte - (Thalamus, 1988) Armalyte is a left-to-right scrolling shooter in the style of Gradius, including a weapons upgrade feature and large end-of-level bosses. Armalyte was released for the Commodore 64 by Thalamus Ltd, their sixth software release. It was marketed by Thalamus as the sequel to Delta, which was also a left-to-right horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up, but Delta was created by a different programming team. The in-game credits list the members of Cyberdyne Systems as John Kemp (systems programming), Dan Phillips (main programming), and Robin Levy (all graphics, attack waves, level design). Music and sound effects were provided by Martin Walker, who was the programmer of Thalamus' fourth release Hunter's Moon. On its release, Armalyte retailed for £9.99 and £12.99 for the cassette and disk versions, respectively, in the United Kingdom. #fb #tweet #blog
