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.

The game takes place at the top of an underground nightclub, where the metal railings tremble to the pulse of long lost drum machines. A crooked AI dealer is waiting for you. Will you meet them? Ko-Ko has been fascinated both by the simple, yet tricky, mechanics of the game's design, and by the adult oriented theme creating such a sordid atmosphere around it. hence, he managed an initial C64 version of it, before getting seized by the siren's songs of his ancient love: the Plus/4
