Mask

About

Mask is a vertical scrolling shooter where you pilot the Thunderhawk through chaotic levels to retrieve scan key fragments and rescue captured allies. Enemies fill the screen as you navigate shifting terrain and time-warp effects, balancing dodges and precise fire. The action never slows, with each stage raising the stakes as VENOM's forces tighten their grip. While the game borrows M.A.S.K. branding for its visuals, the plot and mechanics lean more on arcade reflexes than franchise lore. Still, 1987 reviews praised its energetic play and colorful Commodore 64/Spectrum graphics. Fans of fast-paced shoot-'em-ups with retro charm often highlight its tight controls and escalating difficulty. Released as a single-player challenge, it's a brief but punchy relic from the late 80s arcade revival scene.
