The original Moonspire game released on the Commodore 64 in 2016 was a wonderful cross of Paradroid and Cybernoid which I really enjoyed. When I heard about a sequel, I was very excited – especially with the prospect of the game being a 512K cartridge release.
Sadly it was never to be when it was decided by the programmer that the game would not be finished, and was cancelled due to a lack of free time. The game as a result in its final form was released at Revision 2021.
It is a huge shame too as the title looks like a fantastic upgrade to the original game, especially in the graphics department and could have been very special indeed had it been finished. In this one-level preview, the aim is to hack at least 80% of computer terminals scattered on the draxx ship you infiltrated, then evacuate by finding the evac pad located somewhere on the ship.
To hack terminal simply walk into it. You’ll find out that some of the enemies can’t be destroyed/killed so you have to avoid them. It takes around 12 minutes to complete the game in full speed.
We hope that the team change their mind, but for now this is unfortunately going into the GTW archives for the foreseeable.
