The New Dimension is preparing to release their first ever full disk multi-load game production as an exclusive launch on the covermount of ZZAP! 64 Micro Action issue #11 (November/December 2022).

This will be followed by a free public download, digital tape and web player version of the full game on Christmas day.

Cruiser-X 79 is a collaboration between The New Dimension and Saul Cross and is a fast-paced vertical scrolling shoot ’em up inspired by many top-down 8-bit vertical scrolling classics. If you like classic 8-bit vertical scrolling shoot ’em ups, where you don’t have to fight big bosses at the end of each level you might enjoy this one.

Cruiser-X features the following:

  • Varied alien attack patterns
  • Intro/loading bitmap (drawn by Ax!s/TND)
  • Front-end presentation with credits, hi-score table, and in-game options
  • Progressive powerups (Increases the speed of your shooting) and smart bombs
  • Hidden cheat mode for infinite lives
  • 16 challenging levels
  • Plenty of great music
  • Compatible with SDIEC devices and theC64
  • PAL and NTSC compatible.
