[BRIEF NOTE] One More Paradroid Note

[rfmcdonald]

I'm still playing the Windows version of Paradroid that I wrote about earlier this month. It's a fine game, though I wish I could save the game. Not that I really want to, since Paradroid is all about process instead of conclusions. While partaking in process by googling for hints and tips, I found a message posted at comp.sys.cbm pointing to the existence of not only a script for a Paradroid movie but fictitious reviews of said.

Checking the URLs, I found that the sites had gone dead. Fortunately, I could turn to the Internet Archive and find the latest archived versions (here and here, respectively). Interesting material, certainly enough for an entertaining little sci-fi shoot-em-up movie. If Hollywood wanted to make some British game designers rich, they could hardly find better ones.
