LEAPS AND BOUNDS
UP’N DOWN 1983
Sega continued its interest in isometric arcade games with this entertaining maze game that shares elements with Namco’s Rally-X. As in Namco’s fastpaced game, the aim of Up’N Down is to collect a set number of flags, but here you can destroy enemies by leaping over them. It’s also possible to jump across gaps in the track, although you’ll need to get the timing just right in order to succeed. It’s tough, but very satisfying.
