Super Glob
Super Glob is an arcade action game released in 1983 by Epos Corporation. Players control a character navigating a series of single-screen stages filled with enemies. The objective is to eliminate all enemies on each screen to advance to the next level. Players move their character in multiple directions and fire projectiles to defeat foes, while avoiding enemy contact and incoming attacks. Enemy types vary across stages, and their movement patterns become more aggressive as the game progresses. The game uses a joystick and fire button for controls, keeping the input scheme straightforward. Stages repeat with increasing difficulty, challenging players to survive longer as enemy speed and frequency increase. Super Glob offers a compact but escalating challenge typical of early 1980s coin-operated action games.
