Rob over at Beyond The Scanlines is taking a look at Magnetron on the C64 this week.
I am still a huge fan of both Quazatron and Magnetron in their Speccy incarnations, though for reasons I can’t fathom now I couldn’t really remember anything about Magnetron on the breadbin. I surely must have played it, I’ve just got a terrible memory. Thankfully other people are here to remind me to go and sort that out.
Anyway. This isn’t that Magnetron, just to confuse matters. Instead it’s a Broderbund title of the same name. An evolution of a Mac game that comes complete with a level editor allowing you to stitch together your own missions.
It’s an interesting little game and really I’m impressed with how useable (if apparently time consuming) the level editor appears to be.
Google is broken, social media is fragmented (this one, at least, is a good thing) the internet is an AI toilet. Getting someone to look at your stuff on online is getting ridiculously rough. Sharing a post amongst chums or the internet at large helps loads. So here’s some buttons! Wahey!
The online home of Rob Fearon, disabled videogame maker, games journalist, crap film watcher, gobshite and doodler. Rob’s been around games a very, very long time now and Punching Robots Club is their personal blog featuring whatever nonsense takes their fancy.
Sometimes it’s a sketch, a review, an article about videogames, a pointer to something Rob finds cool. Whatever, really. Expect anything, Rob’s tired of being a brand online and so it’s just stuff and things these days. Nice stuff and things, mind you.
