It is for inspiration, but for me, with my game designer's hat on.
I would love extra search fields, like 'inspired by Cybernoid', 'horizontal scroller', 'vertical scroller' but there's no time for it now.

Maybe I'm missing something but I would say Cybernoid is the first of its genre.Ah.... but what game was Cybernoid a clone of?
Quality.
ZXDB always had "inspired by" information about games!
I checked this game and I would give abut 2.5 to Zukinox in "The official Cybernoid index" (tm)I disagree about Zukinox.
Great! So this will be an easily searchable property when Peter & Ricardo sort out the advanced search?Einar Saukas wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 11:51 am ZXDB always had "inspired by" information about games!
Unbeknownst to many, Spectrum Computing allows you to see this information easily. For instance, in game Elite there's a field called "derived titles". If you click there, you will see a list of 5 titles: 2 "inspired by Elite" and 3 "Elite mods". I just noticed this list is missing Awaken, I will add it in the next update.
On a more technical note, I have already updated our internal spreadsheet (currently used to automatically generate ZXDB updates). There's now a new tab for updating information in previously registered titles. I have already added to the spreadsheet the information discussed in this thread so far, they will appear in the next ZXDB update!
There's no need. As soon as this information is added (in the next ZXDB update), you can simply open the Cybernoid page and click on "derived titles" to find them.
Not sure about 3. Perhaps above 4?
You created a scale for "Cybernoid clones". I agree that Zukinox was inspired by Cybernoid, but I disagree that it's even close to a clone!
Don't suppose you still have it?
Sadly no. Of course I would have wanted to rewrite it if I had it. I still could, I guess, but there's more interesting things to do. It was BBC Model B, and all my tapes and disks vanished in a house move.
Well, since when I presented the game, I openly declared that Sophia was inspired by Cybernoid - as well as from Equinox and Druid - so I would say yes, of course

Rough Justice is vaguely inspired by Cybernoid. Is it more inspired by Cybernoid than any other game?
It should probably come from the author tho, I'll PM him on WoS.I guess it's similar to Cybernoid in many ways, though not as insanely difficult.
