What Attack of the Mutant Camels is

Attack of the Mutant Camels is an arcade game developed by Llamasoft LTD and released in 1983. It was published by Advantage Computer Accessoirs, Inc.. It is available on Atari 8-bit, Commodore C64/128/MAX and Commodore VIC-20.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The player controls a small jetplane and has the task of killing giant yellow camels before they reach the home base. Doing so requires several dozens of shots. The camels retaliate by shooting fireballs from their mouth. Each camel required several shots to destroy; if a camel reached the base, the game was over. Once all camels on a level had been killed, the player had to survive a "hyperspace" sequence which required avoiding high-speed missiles. Upon successful completion, the next level presented a new wave of camels, with slightly harder gameplay.
