Exolon: a new remake of the classic for 8-bit systems is available for free

Exolon

Exolon Redux is a free remake of Exolon, a much loved classic for 8-bit systems, at least by those who still remember it. Ben James, the author, did a really excellent job, perfectly reproducing the original mechanics. Let's see a video of the game:

If you are interested in playing it, you can do it directly from your browser on its itch.io page, where you can also download it and then install it on your computer.

Exolon Redux is composed from five levels and sees the player playing the role of a soldier of the future, who has to contend with not exactly friendly aliens, equipped with very dangerous defensive technologies such as turrets, missiles, mines and so on. Fortunately our hero has weapons of him to respond to the threat.

In short, if you want to take a dip in the past and enjoy a way of playing that is now quite obsolete, but still exciting (if you take it right), Exolon Redux is the game for you .
