Save New York

About this game
"Save New York" is a shooter where the action takes place on one screen only; but there are lots of things going on on that screen.
You see blue sky over skyscrapers and subway tunnels beneath.

New York is under attack, and you are a pilot in a little blue airplane who must save it from destruction caused by aliens.
At the beginning of each stage, the aliens begin to drop from the sky.
Your goal is to cruise around in your plane and to shoot them, preferably before they descend on a building, because then they will begin to crush it until it is destroyed completely.
Once you have disposed of such an alien wave, you enter the next stage, with tougher and more numerous foes.
Your plane might run out of fuel; in this case, you must pick up fuel left by friendly planes who appear sometimes on the screen.
Often an alien will lay an egg on the ground, and a newly born baby will immediately begin to destroy the buildings from below.
To prevent this, you will have to leave your craft, enter the dangerous subway tunnels, and dispose of the young alien using your handgun.
About Commodore 64
Released in 1982, the Commodore 64 is the best-selling home computer model of all time, with an enormous software library spanning games, productivity tools, and everything in between. C64 game collecting centers on cassette tapes and floppy disks in their original packaging — physical media that's inherently fragile, so complete, working copies from the era are increasingly prized by retro computing collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Save New York for Commodore 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Save New York to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This C64 release dates back to 1983.
