Koronis Rift - Atari 800XL/130XE

[@buffalodebill7986]

Quite a difficult game (manual helps a lot to understand what's going on there), but with terrific graphics and sounds. The only weak item on my list was the control schema - non-analogue joystick-operated crosshair made hitting the enemy saucers rather difficult, especially as the crosshair was also used to operate the tank. Despite that, I'd rate the gameplay at 90% and above - just put yourself into the 80's, look at it and try it out :-)

This looks so much better than the Commodore 64 version. :-)

Yeah, the Atari CPU ran almost twice as fast as the C64, plus the Atari had some extra graphical tricks it could pull off at hardware level that the C64 couldn't. The C64 had more colourful sprites, but you really want speed and smoothness of animation in a game like this.

Koronis Rift, hermano del gran Rescue On Fractalus, ambos desarrollados por Lucas Games, aparentemente con el mismo motor gráfico. Otro juego de Lucas, muy parecido a estos dos, es Eidolon. Oooh esas épocas!! :D

The song at the beginning is very similar (if not nearly identical) to one of the Godzilla themes :)
