[Found: Quadralien] Mystery top-down space/station game.
I cannot for the life of me recall a game I once had for the Amiga. What I remember (accuracy mileage may vary):
- Space theme. - Top-down, square tiles (floors, walls) on a scrolling playfield. - Involved robots, power cells, radiation. - Some planning and design mechanic involving repair (?) and managing climbing radiation levels. - Probably on a space station. - There may have been direct control over the robots. Can anyone help out with this mystery? Thanks! Last edited by Kludgy; 20 February 2010 at 20:26. Reason: Found game. |

Nice fit, quick reply.
But it was a lot more primitive than that, graphics and mechanics-wise. More of a puzzler than a tactical strategy. The characters in the game were the bots, and as I recall there were no humanoids. The entire game took place in top-down perspective. Cheers! |

I think this is a case where the theme is common and hence ambiguous. That does look interesting, but far too shiny and new.
It must have been a title from the early Amiga days. Probably North American, maybe even PD, but I don't have any way to confirm this now. |

Pandora's perspective and graphics style is closest to what I remember, but it's not the game. The graphics were pretty simple solid colors, and the shapes were pretty basic. Certainly no humanoid characters of even that detail level.
'88-'90 seems to be about the right era, judging by graphics. Cheers! |

What about Battletech ( http://hol.abime.net/78 ), I think it had cresent moon in the title. I used to love that game.
You had to build up your mechs and repair them and stuff. EDIT:- I never knew it was a Westwood game, no wonder I loved it, . Westwood ruled. |
