The best Speccy game by Ariolasoft: discussion

Post by PeteProdge »

Now on page 78 of YS #19 where there's a reference to an Ariolasoft game. Yes, that's Ariolasoft and not Areolasoft.

I make it these nine tangible ZX Spectrum games that came out under the Ariolasoft brand.

Archon
One On One
Panzadrome
Realm Of Impossibility
Skyfox
Terrors Of Trantoss, The
Think!
Toadrunner
Tujad

Have I got that right? Or wrong? Let me know before next Sunday!

I’ve only played Panzadrome on that list. I don’t know if there was something I was missing as once there was a crater in the way, progress was impeded and the game became unplayable. Surprisingly, this didn’t stop me from loading it up more times than you’d think.

Polycrete. You could repair the craters. It was still a frustrating game though.

I think you had to find it somewhere in a garage on the map. Bit of a pain really! It was the first thing you should go for, as I remember it. But it was still fairly easy getting stuck before you could get your hands on it! Still loved the game though! :D
