Paradroid
Paradroid is a Commodore 64 computer game written by Andrew Braybrook and published by Hewson Consultants in 1985. It is a shoot 'em up with puzzle elements and was critically praised at release. The objective is to clear a fleet of spaceships of hostile robots by destroying them or taking them over via a mini-game. It was later remade as "Paradroid 90" for the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST home computers and as Paradroid 2000 for the Acorn Archimedes. There exist several fan-made remakes for modern PCs.
- 1986 - "Paradroid Competition Edition" - Released as a double pack at Christmas with "Uridium+", plays faster than the original, mainly due to scroll code enhancements
- 1987 - "Heavy Metal Paradroid" - "Paradroid" with "Morpheus" style graphics. (Budget Release in 1989)
- 1990 - "Paradroid 90" (Commodore Amiga, Atari ST)
- 1993 - "Paradroid 2000" (Acorn Archimedes)
