For the DEFENDER clone on the BBC Micro, PLANETOID looks graphically brilliant 😺👍🕹️. And the sound effects are Arcade purrfect 😺👍🕹️. And you are today's greatest retrospective hero 😸😺👍🕹️! A retrospective like 👍🕹️ from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮. 😺👍🕹️
Stewart aka Generation Pixel sent me your way while we were walking around Glasgow after a few pints! He told me we have a similar style so I would enjoy your content 😊
Absolutely mind boggling how playable this is on such old equipment. I played this on an electron a young lad. Incredible memories, those bleeding flat saucer things used to terrify me
@@markmilenkovic1745 yep this one was extremely impressive especially for a non official port Haha those flying saucers sure were brutal in this one😄 Thanks for watching Mark.
Oh wow I’ve never played planetoids on the BBC micro this looks and sounds great. Guess what game I will be booting up on the BBC later…. Great vid as always mate
@@SEGAZombie yes Scott, let me know how you get on, yet another great acornsoft game this, controls take a bit of getting used to but is more like the arcade to be fair. Hope you enjoy it mate, love the fact you have the Beeb now😎
I was just playing planetoid on Saturday night. It's a great version of Defender but the keyboard controls do ruin it a bit. On a Defender note...in some of the old Atarisoft adverts it did say that Stargate(Defender 2) was going to be released for the TI994A. Makes me wonder if there's still a prototype out there in the same way there was a working version of Robotron for the TI. 🤔
@@allanmailer4540 yeah Planetoid is a cracking clone, every bit as good as the official ports. Purist controls aswell. That's interesting what you say about Defender 2 on the TI, imagine if a prototype ever surfaced, guess there's always a chance 😎
I know I say it every time but just hearing the beeb puts a smile on my face, so distinctive. Looked like a great version/rip off. Will have to fire the beeb up and give it a bash.
With you completely Dave, the distinctive sound effects of the Beeb are so charming and nostalgic, gotta love 'em 😊 Defo worth giving a bash, proper arcade controls(up/down/thrust/reverse etc.) so if you haven't played that in a while it takes some getting used to again.
@@retroimportgamer513 yeah it's a brilliant version, right up there with the official ports. Wish you could change the keys. It's nice that it's arcade accurate controls(up/down/thrust/reverse etc.) unlike the official ports but those keys wouldn't be my own choice.

Cheers for tuning in buddy, will check out some of your vids tomorrow 😉
@@Tetlee you’ve got to trust a half cut Stewart 😉
This really looks and sounds the part mate
@@retrotap it sure does mate, plays fantastic aswell but it's bloomin' hard😬😄

Definitely thinking about getting a BBC after playing at Scotts at the weekend and this is giving more reason to get one
Great video mate 👍
@@ewstargamer ah mate you wouldn't regret it. The Beeb is an awesome computer to own, absolutely love mine.
Cheers Alex👍

Good stuff and well played Lee.🌠🕹🍀
@@Pjvenom1985 thanks Patrick, hard as nails this version😄
Looks like a great clone of defender. Nice and colourful
@@nerdygeezer78 yeah it's brilliant this one, hard as nails though especially when you keep forgetting keys😄
Cool classic game 👍💯
Cheers Kev, can't beat a bit of Defender, official or otherwise 😎

Great defender clone beats the TI99 & Atari 800 for me
Yep I think that's a reasonable arguement to make. Retains the proper arcade controls aswell, bloomin tough though!
This is another great looking beeb title Lee, shame you can't change the keys or play joystick, annoying when they do that 👍

There aint many death sounds better than them lee buddy 😂
Haha whilst that's true, those death sounds were probably a bit more frequent than they should have been🤪
Filling up that leaderboard on a short but sweet beast 👊🏻
@@Gold2thGaming yep quick deaths one way to fill up the leaderboard😁
