What is SEUCK?

SEUCK stands for Shoot’em Up Construction Kit and it was a piece of software that allowed people be really creative and design brand new Commodore 64 games, with the use of a series of different options, but with limitations. Designing sprites – to forming objects, building level maps, and forming attack wave patterns, setting up levels and eventually making your own game creations come to life.The package also came with example games: Slap and Tickle (A SEUCK homage to Slap Fight?), Outlaw (Western Shoot ‘Em Up), Transputer Man (Futuristic push scroller shoot ’em up), and Celebrity Squares (Weird space shoot ’em up, with people’s names on the blocks). The SEUCK package also came with a BLANK SEUCK – where you can start from scratch at building your own SEUCK game title. (Source: TND)
