Thrust
From CPCWiki - THE Amstrad CPC encyclopedia!
Type of game: 2d action / dexterity
Setup: Planets, the universe
In Thrust you steer a space-craft which is equipped with a laser and a tractor beam.
With the tractor beam, one can harvest the needed fuel. The laser helps to defeat enemies on the ground.
The aim is to get a sphere off the planet. In order to do that, one locks the tractor beam onto it. But then the player has to manage the swinging weight of the sphere, which pulls him in any direction as it reacts to gravity.
