Novatron

Moby ID: 1465

DOS version

I'm not particularly fond of this one.

The Good
Novatron is a good game. It's innovative, it's quite pretty and it's based on one of my favorite movies ever, Tron. It used to be a great, new style of game, but this is where the good ends.

The Bad
Terrible controls, way too fast gameplay (which I could never muster) and the lack of programming talent to make the damn thing run properly on anything other than a 4.77mhz XT (it ran too fast on my IBM-compatible, which was rated at 8mhz). As such, there's nothing terribly good about Novatron.

The Bottom Line
A classic game in style but lacking in gameplay.
