Mars is largely a poor man's Scramble. And I love me some Scramble - it helped me almost fail lots of classes during my freshman year of college (there was one in the basement of our dorm) (Yes, I am old). So Mars is slightly less attractive and slightly less well designed than Scramble, but it has one BIG addition...instead of a fire button, you shoot in any direction with a second joystick (a la Robotron or Smash TV). It changes the game play drastically and makes Mars a lot of fun. If you don't have a dual joystick setup (or use some sort of dual analog game controller), you could set up your keyboard to have buttons that fire in all eight directions. That'd be crazy hard, let me know how that goes.
