Dickie Spaceman

Dickie Spaceman is an arcade game for the Dragon 32/64.

Dickie is an interplanetary pirate who travels between planets to collect treasure. Played from a side perspective, Dickie can move in all directions and fire forwards, but is always pulled down by gravity when not using his thruster pack. The planets are inhabited by numerous aggressive species that will attack Dickie.

Every five levels, Dickie upgrades his spaceship, but as a result of steering, he will crash land on the next planet. On these levels the player must reassemble his spaceship before refueling. Items can be picked up, and are automatically dropped in place when the player flies above their landing site. After fully refueling their ship, the player has 30 seconds to reach the ship and safety. There are six levels of difficulty, and the player can start with 5 or 10 lives.
