How’s that even possible? :shock:

All of 10 minutes. Yes well done. A game that I don't think got the love it deserved. It's sort of what I Of The Mask was trying to be.

The more impressive of those 'fractal' games, and an early FPS. A real shame they didn't improve the creature graphics over those ugly lo-res inflated hardware sprites from the Atari/C64 versions though.

I've never before seen The Eidolon but just took a look at a YouTube walkthrough and I'm pretty impressed. I don't recall seeing that graphical technique before on the Spectrum. What other games might've used it, I wonder?

Rescue on Fractalus and Koronis Rift, both by Lucasfilm, used the same fractal engine. Both are really good games and definitely worth trying out.

Good shout. That is one trippy game. I'm afraid I used to be very cruel to that Yoda-like alien.
