tthurman Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 News from Arcade Heroes Is this what became Sinistar? It's hard to say for sure without someone from the Sinistar design team chiming in, but there are definitely some similarities between it and this newly reconstructed prototype called Conquest. To quote Code Mystics, who found the ROMs and put the game up online for all to enjoy: "After Larry DeMar & Eugene Jarvis created Defender, they, as "Vid Kidz", started on a 2D top-down follow-up: Conquest. It only got as far as a VERY early prototype, but we've reconstructed the ROMs & now you can try it out" While "very early," what is there is playable - and a little tough. You can see how close to Sinistar it is by clicking here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP-Felix Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 It's actually pretty fun, but man those bastards home in fast! I can see this being pretty sweet with a spinner and 2 buttons. Fire and Thrust. The keyboard doesn't do it justice. I totally get that defender vibe. Pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
