After the War

After the War is a post-apocalyptic action game created by the Spanish software house Dinamic Software in 1989 for 8-bit platforms - ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 - and 16-bit platforms - Atari ST and Amiga.

The title is clearly inspired by John Carpenter's movie Escape from New York.

The first part is a beat-em-up, similar to titles such as Double Dragon. While in the second part of the game, the hero uses a gun, so it becomes a shooter like Contra. The gun can be rotated, as in Midnight Resistance.

Fantastic graphics with huge sprites, great difficulty. It's just a pity you cannot play with a friend in co-op.
