Revenge of the Quadra is my tribute to a classic Vic 20 game from around 1984. Like some of my other Vic remakes, I loved playing this one as a teenager, and i've tried to make a game closely resembling the original, while taking advantage of modern development skills to improve on it.

The Game

Revenge of the Quadra is a fast-moving shoot-em up which requires you to clear 10 levels of increasingly difficult invading aliens. You also need to deal with a constant meteor shower that puts rocks in your way, and try to get the assistance of the Blob to smart-bomb your way to a high score.

Your mission is to guard the human pods, which frequent the bottom of the screen, from the aliens that will zoom down to try and capture them. If they get caught and reach the top of the screen t hen that's one less human to defend, and one more casualty towards game over.

The Vic 20 game was a fast and very hard shooter, and my remake is no different, apart from being a bit easier at the start to gently lead you in to certain death. I hope you all enjoy playing the game as much as I did creating it.
