10.10.2026 - 'Paradroid' for Plus/4 released - free for download
This faithful Plus/4 conversion of the C64 classic, originally created by Andrew Braybrook, which combines C and Assembly coding knowledge with the AI assistance, has been pushed to the max, in order to convert a cornerstone of the C64 library. Eight ships, each with 20 decks, to be cleaned out from the gone-mad droids, a fast logic game to relay between their circuits, a variegated ranking system to climb up, a fast paced action overall... all the features seem to be perfectly ported on the Plus/4. The real visible compromise (but ultimately, not excessively disruptive) is the format clash of the sprites – which must be multicolor – on the original hires background. Paradroid on Plus/4 surprisingly retains all the dynamism of the original on the C64, moving so many things on the screen with extreme fluidity.
