About The Game:

Synopsis: Army Moves is a simple right scrolling shooter/platformer. If anyone thinks it's a bit simple, remember it first appeared on 8-bit systems, and was later ported to the Amiga. The game play is remenicent of the arcade classic Moon Buggy, only with more shooting. I found the game extreemly hard and fast paced, maybe too much so. The copy I have came from the Amiga Classix CD-ROM from Epic Marketing. I transfered the .ADF file on the CD to a floppy and then installed it to hard drive using the WhdLoad installer.

You play a man driving a bouncing, missle launching geep to the right of the screen. Jump over holes, while shooting enemy trucks and choppers.

The screenshot here is running on AmigaUAE, which cannot seem to run the original version, but can run the WhdLoad patched version.
