Released in 1995 by Slovis Software (Jeff Davis and Chris Sloane), Action Dome -- known in full as Alien Action Dome -- is a top-down arcade game where you guide Glerp, an awesomely huge super alien, through forty stages of bowl-collecting peril before a roving monster munches him into oblivion.
Gameplay
The action takes place from an overhead perspective, with simplistic controls and easy movement. Each stage is a small fixed arena packed with sugar-worm bowls; clear them all to advance, and don't let the pursuing monster catch up.
Forty Levels
The campaign spans forty hand-laid stages that escalate in obstacle density and pursuer speed, encouraging short, replayable bursts rather than long sit-downs.
Compatibility
Action Dome ships as a 68k binary that runs natively on classic 680x0 Macs and on Power Macintosh hardware via emulation. The authors note it runs noticeably slower on machines below a 68030.
Distribution
The original Info-Mac upload from Chris Sloane explicitly permitted CD-ROM redistribution, with a request that compilers send a courtesy email -- a typical 1995 shareware courtesy clause.
