In this video, Rotox, released in 1990 for the Atari ST by U.S. Gold.
It is the 22nd century. Lieutenant Kowolski, a mercenary for the Solar Exploration Co. had been badly injured in a battle to take the Chinese space port on Titan. He was transferred to the Cyborg Research Facility and reconstructed into a devastating, computer assisted fighting machine.
Now Kowolski, renamed ROTOX (RemOTe Off world Xenoprobe) has to be tested. To this end he has been sent to the Solar Exploration Company's new testing complex, located just beyond the orbit of Neptune. Specially constructed landscapes provide a nightmare environment of deadly machines and hostile life forms. Mistakes are fatal, but success will lead ROTOX to the high powered weapons he needs to escape.
That's the description taken from the game's manual for this shoot'em up mixed with puzzle to solve, made with solid vector graphics, fast enough action, few standard noises and a very high playability.
Here you'll find full intro and gameplay.
All footage taken from original hardware machines and upscaled to 1080P.
Let me know what do you think about the video in the comments below but, most important, Enjoy!!!
