Planet Bob - Playing P.O.D. - Proof of Destruction (C64)

[RSS Bot]

Hi there!

 

So, after a playing a horizontal scrolling shoot'em up, what could be better than playing a shoot'em up without scrolling next?

 

Introducing P.O.D.:

 

Let's start this entry somewhat unusual, by quoting the introduction of the manual of this one:

P.O.D. has no pretentious storyline and no mega-reality to justify its existence. It is simply an exciting and addictive shoot'em up!

 

Some Lemon64 visitor considers it being "Grid Runner/Millipede on acid". Also true.

 

There really isn't much more to say about it. Playing it up to level 15 so far has been pure blasting heaven. Fair, diverse, challenging, zoning: The best shoot'em up I played since Geometry Wars Galaxies

 

BTW: Even though this was only another low-budget release from Mastertronic, it was written by a real programming legend, Shaun Southern. He was very prolific on C64 where wrote some 15 games, like the Trailblazer and Kickstart games. Later on the Miggy he wrote the Super Cars games and, my personal favourites, the Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge series of racing games!

 

Greetings,

Manuel
