***Beach-Head II: The Dictator Strikes Back*** is a 1985 computer game, a
sequel to Beach-Head. It was developed and published by Access Software.
It was designed by Bruce Carver and his brother, Roger, and was released
for the Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Atari 8-bit (Atari 400/800), Commodore 64
and ZX Spectrum.
***Gameplay***
Beach-Head II featured the player pursuing the eponymous Dictator in
several ways. There are four levels in the game. In the first level,
called Attack, the player deploys soldiers along a path with walls to
cover him from the dictator's gun. The objective is to destroy the gun.
The second level involves rescuing the prisoners from deadly obstacles
by clearing them with a gun. The third level's objective is to escape
from the area by flying a helicopter with the prisoners out of the
dictator's fortress. Finally the player and the dictator face off,
on opposite cliffs, separated by water. To defeat him, the player
must make him fall in the water by throwing knives at him.
The Dictator tries to do the same to the player.
In one player mode there are three skill levels, harder modes
resulting in faster movements and the computer opponent gaining
in intelligence. In two player mode one player controls the usual
side whilst his opponent will control the Dictator's forces.
This game was notable for using synthesized speech
(courtesy of Electronic Speech Systems, then of Berkeley, California).
Known for its deathly scream (also heard in Epyx's Impossible Mission),
laughing, "I'm hit", "Medic", "Hey! Don't shoot me" and "You can't hurt
me" in the game.
