Wolfpack

Wolfpack is a 1-player arcade space fighter for the BBC Micro.

The player has been commanded to destroy all enemy units in the four galaxies. The fleet consists of three Andromeda class Heavy Starcruisers and a single rotating Base. The three ships can be piloted individually, and the player switches control between vessels. All activity occurs in real time, and the non-active vessels continue to move. Individual ships have limited energy, which is used by all action commands. Ships can be rotated, accelerated, stopped, or fire lasers. A radar map shows all vessels in the current galaxy, and the player can warp between the four galaxies.

Enemy targets appear in the galaxy, and the player must hunt them down and destroy them. Energy can be harvested from the destroyed vessel, and brought back to the starbase. If the returning vessel is damaged on return the energy can be lost. A player ship is inactivated if its energy runs to 0, but it can be recovered by transferring energy to it. The goal is ultimately to destroy progressively more difficult enemy vessels in all four galaxies.
