I’m thinking of making Friday “Lets Play! Friday”. What do you think?
One of the most visually impressive Speccy games, with huge sprites and colour-clash-be-damned graphics, Trantor: The Last Stormtrooper was rated highly but then mostly forgotten.
With just 90 seconds before the bombs in his body explode (they don’t make ’em like this any more!), Trantor must find the items to slow the detonation.
The emulator used is Qaop.
Nice idea.
Riiiight I remember this game, hmmm it’s rubbish. How are you supposed to avoid getting hit? Your sprite is too large and moves like he’s had 10 pints. I defy anyone to last more than 2 minutes. The flamethrower is useless. Gahahahahaaaa!
Trantor was absolutely stunning. Some of the best music I ever heard in a 48K game came from this.
I never owned the game, but had an unplayable demo from a magazine covertape. I would just load it, watch the intro and listen to the music.
Wasn’t Tim Follin’s work was it?
