Cholo

I’ve just been pointed towards this most excellent game. You have to control various robots on the surface of Earth to enable the human population to escape from the underground bunker which they’ve been living in.

The game is a remake of the original 8bit version, and it’s got quite a lot of things I’ve wanted from games for a while. It looks like Tron, is fairly open-ended in the gameplay - you have to explore the city on the surface to find things, so there aren’t set objectives to follow. Also the background story is really well written and takes a good half hour to read properly, and would make a decent short story in its own right.

Go and play it now
