Tombstone City: 21st Century is a fast-paced action game where you take on the role of a sailor defending your ship, the schooner, against an alien invasion. The Morgs, an extraterrestrial threat, are wreaking havoc on the old west, and it's up to you to stop them. By shooting them down with your trusty cannon, you'll turn them into cacti that will block the Morgs' path and make it harder for them to reach you.
The gameplay revolves around navigating through a desert landscape while fending off waves of Morgs. As you progress, the aliens become increasingly aggressive and the obstacles created by the cacti become more challenging. Your goal is to destroy as many Morgs as possible while avoiding taking too much damage from their attacks. With its simple yet addictive gameplay, Tombstone City: 21st Century is a thrilling arcade experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Tombstone City: 21st Century was released in June 1981 for the TI-99 console and has since become a cult classic among retro gaming enthusiasts. The game's success can be attributed to its simplicity, challenge, and nostalgic value, making it a must-play for anyone who loves old-school arcade action.
