Captain Quazar
The playable space hero and protagonist, who fights through the game's combat missions.
How it plays
How does Captain Quazar play?
The player views Captain Quazar from a third-person, elevated perspective and guides him through combat areas. The main objectives are to move through each mission, defeat hostile creatures or soldiers, avoid hazards, and reach the required goals.
Gameplay centers on running, aiming, firing weapons, and managing position in open arenas. Missions progressively introduce tougher opposition and more demanding encounters. The supplied DOS version does not have sufficiently documented controls available here, so no keyboard mapping is listed.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Captain Quazar?
Keep moving instead of standing in open areas, and use the environment to create distance from groups of enemies. Clear nearby threats before advancing so that later encounters are not approached while surrounded.
Learn enemy attack patterns and avoid wasting ammunition on poor angles. Because the game can become difficult quickly, cautious positioning and repeated practice are generally more useful than rushing through each mission.
