I'm a fan of Quazatron.
I've been feeling a bit off-color the last few days with some kind of bug, so I decided to go easy on myself and put together a trailer for my Quazatron/Magnetron/Paradroid-inspired #Mausitron.
#retro #gamedev
It will be available on #steam and #itch, eventually, hopefully.

I'm a fan of Quazatron.
In the pursuit of this whole "drumming up interest" marketing thing, I've updated the #devdiary for my #paradroid / #quazatron -inspired game, #mausitron.
I'm not very good at this, so please like/share/whatever as appropriate.

Prepping for a demo
Yesterday I looked at the games that came out of the same line as Paradroid and Quazatron . Ctrl Alt Ego is a nearest recent one, and I dug in to how it was marketed. Its demo, the first two chapters,...

I never really played the original Paradroid back in the day, but I played the hell out of Uridium, Quazatron and Magnetron. Paradroid '90 too, but for some reason I couldn't get into the one quite as much. 🧐

Given that I've been playing games since the early 80s, it's a bit unfair to only pick 9, so I picked 18.
I probably could have picked 9 from each decade easily enough - or even per platform. For example, there really should be SNES and/or N64 Zelda on here too.

Had Pong, had the ZX81, had the spectrum - I am old.
But Quazatron was *probably* the one game that I just completely fell in love with.

Well, sort of. More of a spiritual sequel to both Quazatron and Magnetron, set in cyberspace. (I'm taking the Tron part and running with it.)

I liked it a lot, but the grapple game was better in Quazatron.

I've been playing around with a quick testbed for something I might take further, time permitting.
Five points for guessing the inspiration.

“I reckon this is one of the best games ever to come out on the Spectrum. Playability is superb: the game’ll keep you at the computer for ages wondering how you’re going to kill the next droid that comes along.”

Loved Quazatron. Never really understood what was happening, but it was extremely compelling. Have this and about a billion other Speccy games on my Anbernic RG350.
