About this product

Product Information

An interesting first-person space combat game from 20th Century Fox's short-lived video game department, The Earth Dies Screaming assigns players the mission of tracking down and eliminating alien ships orbiting Earth. Using the radar at the top of the screen, players can find plenty of enemies to grapple with, and they come in two forms: highly maneuverable fighters whose laser fire can deplete the player's energy banks, and satellites which, if not blown up in space, will slam into the Earth (also costing the player energy). Energy can be replenished by following the aliens back to their mothership and destroying it. If either the player's ship or the Earth itself runs out of energy, the battle is lost and the Earth dies (screaming, presumably).<br><br>The Earth Dies Screaming features a very nice look to its graphics, which manage to convey both the outer space environment and a sense of three-dimensional motion very well while also being bright and colorful. It's an above-average game with a slightly silly, B-movie-worthy title, similar to such uncomplicated space sims as Star Voyager and Starmaster, but with superior graphics.

EXCELLENT SELLER. The item was packed in safe bubble wrap and came exactly as the listing described and showed. Shipping was fast and because I purchased multiple items, this seller refunded me the shipping fees on each of the other items! Would definitely buy from again! AAA+++

  • A great name for a no-so-great game.

    Your job - according to the manual, at least - is to defend the Earth from the "diabolical Trillians". It plays pretty much like the vector arcade game "Star Wars", but since it looks, plays, and sounds so different, it feels more fresh than it really is. This 2600 game should *not* be confused with the Black And White movie of the same name, even though the game is released by 20th Century Fox. But you know something's wrong as soon as you look at the cartridge; the end label has copyright names, year, programming and video credit ... everything *except* the game's name on it. Don't these meatheads know what's supposed to be on the end label of a video game cartridge? I guess not. Well, you start up the game, and the sound, graphics, and control all seem to work fine. The more ...
