Gottlieb Prototype - Argus - 1 of 2 Video

One for the Gottlieb fans... best viewed in you tube 'full screen' mode

There is an intro screen that has been cut out due to time constraints that basically explains how to play the game.

Basic gameplay idea is similar to 'Defender' - save/protect the humanoids... Game uses a trackball to move Argus.

is 'Defender' based- save the humanoids... Game uses a trackball to move Argus.

Good gameplay, reasonable difficulty... worth checking out.

Supposedly this game flunked during testbed play- they just needed it at the controls of the 'hawk' I guess... and further mention of putting a blue suit with S on the chest- and red cape on the character. Ya know- Superman? ;)

Other noteables:
In Rounds 16 and 21 etc... sometimes an unearned 'extra citizen' will just appear falling from the air to be rescued. Dont know if this was a programmed feature or 'mame bug'...

This one should have been released- hands down. Insector needed a little work, but this one- was very close ready to go under a 'Superman' logo - IMHO...

Needless to say: Gottlieb does get a 'hidden room' in my 'dreamcade goal'- with Q*Bert and Krull, as its flagship- and two unreleased games in Insector and Argus- worth mentioning as hometown products 'in development' at the time...
