For those nostalgic about the classic C16 game Zodiac, originally released by Anirog in 1985, there’s exciting news! ‘Zodiac Deluxe’ is now available for the Plus/4, developed by Legion Of Doom (LOD) with coding by Csabo and graphics by KiCHY. This updated edition revitalizes the original with numerous enhancements. As the creators put it, “Curious about how a game from 1985 would look with a modern twist? Take a look!” Below, you’ll find the latest gameplay footage and additional details.
According to a post on the Plus4 World Facebook page, “By carefully choosing the right flaws in a game design to enhance while respecting its core elements, one can significantly improve game playability! This is exactly what Csabo and KiCHY (Kisnémeth Róbert) achieved with Zodiac – a notable clone of the well-known Shamus. The results are impressive! Zodiac Deluxe offers a fresh challenge with polished graphics and gameplay, an engaging story intro, music, a revamped bonuses system, new rules to enhance playability, and much more! Remarkably, the game still runs on a standard Commodore 16 with less than 16kB!”
