Revenge of the Apes

The player controls Taylor, the protagonist of the 1968 film Planet of the Apes, through several environments inspired by the film: a forest, a river, the ape village, a desert, and caverns. Obstacles include three types of apes: harmless chimpanzees; orangutans, who inflict damage and imprison Taylor in the ape village if they touch him; and gorillas, who inflict more damage, fire projectiles, and also imprison Taylor. The action button fires Taylor's gun and allows him to escape the ape village cage and pits. Counters at the top of the screen track Taylor's life, which decreases with damage, and his limited number of escapes. Players beat the game by navigating to the last board: a ruined Statue of Liberty, as seen in the film. Upon completion, the game restarts with a higher difficulty setting.
