  • Summary: The ultimate homage to arcade twin-stick shooters. SCENARIO: The starship Equinox is under attack from Stormlord and his robotic minions, the Exolons! You're the crew's only hope.

SCENARIO: The starship Equinox is under attack from Stormlord and his robotic minions, the Exolons! You're the crew's only hope. Take your Samurai-1 fighter, find Captain Solomon's Key, clear the decks of evil robots, and save the Equinox from certain destruction. Cecconoid is an 8-bit inspired, flick-screen, twin-stick-shooter, set in an alternate dimension where the pixels are still chunky, and the bad guys are black and white.

    Except for their dangly red bits...

    BONUS:

    Also includes a full arcade game: Eugatron! 50 levels of Robotron-style, twin-stick, arena-based shooting, direct from the '80s and remixed for your pleasure. Do you have what it takes to become a Eugenius?

    Absolute classic twin stick shmup. This is the real deal, and i own a spectrum next too, so this being is developed for the new speccy and iAbsolute classic twin stick shmup. This is the real deal, and i own a spectrum next too, so this being is developed for the new speccy and i will be picking it up on that aswell. Nice to see speccy emulated games on switch, and this is a fantastic advert for why retro style games should be developed on the original hardware. They are authentic. I wish more classics from speccy and c64 would be ported or made.

    If you like robotron and smash tv and pixel bursts your in for a treat. This is all fast paced shmup stuff with attention to pacing, these lads know what they are doing with the genre. The gameplay is smooth and the sid chip inspired sound is if speccy and c64 had a love child. The music is to die for.

    I would have purchased this back in the day. Its not retro inspired..its retro now ! Which os the highest praise. All it needs on switch is live leaderboards.
