Needless to say the aesthetics have had a great upgrade too, it looks like a sleek modern game, the colour effects, the explosion effects all add up to a nice picture. You have guardians to be fought at the end of each lot of levels too, big robots, with big weapons, each with different challenges to be had. You have an in between level upgrade shop where you can get better weapons, helper droids and other help full upgrades, all the robots you kill drop coins for you to collect to spend in this shop through the levels. The gameplay is just about the same, but there are some changes, you still run and gun every robot in sight but there is some interesting stuff added on. First made by Midway in 1982, it’s a year older than me and I can remember a six year old playing it at my local Butlins in Ayr, wasting a lot of two bob coins that arcade that holiday! The setting was mind blowing, the game was hard but I still wanted to play, yes this is one way I developed my passion for gaming.īasically looking at Ultratron, it is a remake of said Robotron 2084, Puppy Games has added a lot to the game and has made a great attempt of modernising and making the game worth playing al over again. You basically play as a human character shooting robots and saving other humans, it was fun but solid as a rock. Robotron 2084 is the classic game that has been remade here, it was one of the first and certainly an early favourite in the twin stick shooter genre. While this is a nice trend in gaming, there is the question, is there enough new things to be different enough to keep the interest going with the game and is the game good enough to keep you interested in the first place? Retro gaming is a big part of today’s gaming world, while Nintendo have a back catalogue like no other in this respect, there are some newer companies bringing remakes with new ideas.
