Missing short game description

Derdhal, a member of the Special Operations Corps, must infiltrate a heavily guarded enemy base and steal information held in a safe. — Cassette cover

Army Moves is a scrolling shooter game developed by Dinamic Software for  the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MSX and ZX Spectrum. It  is the first chapter of the Moves Trilogy and it was followed by Navy  Moves in 1987 and Arctic Moves in 1995. It was first released in 1986  and published by Dinamic in Spain and by Imagine Software. Dinamic  Software also developed a MS-DOS version of the game, published in  1989 in Spain.

Gameplay

The game contains seven levels that are divided in two main sections.  The first four levels make up the first section, where the player has  to drive an army unit (jeep or helicopter) through a terrain, steering  clear of hostile vehicles.

In the last three levels that comprise the second main section, one  plays as a soldier who shoots enemies along his way. In level 5 the  soldier must jump from rock to rock in a river, shooting hostile birds.  Thereafter, the soldier makes his way into the enemy headquarters with  the goal of retrieving secret documents.

Army Moves was regarded as a rather bad game on the Amiga — "Almost  non-existent gameplay makes this very poor value for money", according  to a review in Zzap!. However, it received mixed reviews from  ZX Spectrum magazines and was successful enough in Spain to spawn two  follow-ups, Navy Moves in 1988 and Arctic Moves in 1995. The latter  appeared only for the PC platform, and it included the first two  chapters of the series, playable through a ZX Spectrum emulator, as  an extra. A fourth entry in the series, Desert Moves was announced at  the end of the game Arctic Moves, but never appeared.

The game music in non-Spanish versions is based on the Colonel Bogey  March.
