About this game

Space Chase follows Jason Storm through a city occupied by Evil Guys, Inc. The first episode, City Under Siege, begins at a spaceport. Jump between platforms, deal with guards and moving hazards, and look for the transporters that connect different parts of a level. Safari Software combines straightforward running and shooting with switches, lifts and routes that need a little exploration.

Your ammunition is limited. Pick up supplies as you travel, and keep an eye on the health and ammunition counters. Some enemies can only be stunned: the original instructions warn that the spiky Denebian Lintball recovers after being shot. Transporters are activated with Up, and some security switches can be triggered with a shot.

This is Safari Software’s version 4.00 DOS shareware release, containing episode one. At the main menu choose Begin a New Game, then select a difficulty. Ctrl jumps and Alt fires; F1 opens the in-game help menu, where S opens the original save slots. The later episodes are not included in this package.
