Mr. Braybrook was a very talented guy too - I also like Gribbley's Day Out, although it's rather difficult!RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-14407315404672338842015-07-11T12:48:31.937+01:002015-07-11T12:48:31.937+01:00Paradroid is my favourite C64 game, quite closely ...Paradroid is my favourite C64 game, quite closely followed by Uridium both by the amazing Andrew Braybrook! When my brother told my mum we need to upgrade from the beeb to a speccy I argued that we should get a C64 instead. Unfortunately my brother won the argument! I loved the speccy too but a few years later bought a C64 myself and Paradroid was about the first game I played.Mrrockitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895944752670745041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-52262719825353358162011-08-10T16:13:09.117+01:002011-08-10T16:13:09.117+01:00Sean - I've never really had the same desire a...Sean - I've never really had the same desire as I was always a happy Spectrum owner but playing games like this does make me realise what I missed out on! :)<br /><br />Marc - Well, now it does mention it thanks to you! ;) Just joking, I haven't read any reviews of it before so I guess that's why I haven't heard of it. It does look pretty nice though I have to say :)RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-28708262530337483912011-08-10T15:40:25.414+01:002011-08-10T15:40:25.414+01:00Bas-relief is the art style used in the game to gi...Bas-relief is the art style used in the game to give the impression of 3D using only 3 colours - Most notable on the beautiful title screen. Everything I've ever read about Paradroid mentions it, so it was refreshing to read a review without it ;)StickHeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14222186359760273096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-69776990803153776422011-08-10T03:50:05.039+01:002011-08-10T03:50:05.039+01:00That does look like an interesting game.

It seemed all the good games were getting released on the C64, but not the Vic-20. This must be one of them:)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-43956069871333248762011-08-09T22:26:49.478+01:002011-08-09T22:26:49.478+01:00Thanks Marc!

I'm not sure what you mean by your last sentence though. Am I being peculiar? :PRetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-66638600393188777302011-08-09T22:09:02.348+01:002011-08-09T22:09:02.348+01:00Nice round-up, RKS!

It's a great game, and a real rarity: a genuinely unique concept that wasn't ripped off wholesale by other developers.<br /><br />Oh, and you managed to write an article about Paradroid that didn't contain the word 'bas-relief'.
