Practically all over the internet by now, Iain McLeod's trippy Asteroids clone has been inducted into the world of freeware - partly because few people would buy a game loaded to the brim with effects (see Space Giraffe), but also to promote the updated remake which is set for a release sometime in 2008. Seems like both games have a lot in common..

Get Spheres of Chaos here.

Holy crap, I was looking for this game the other day but I couldn't remember the name! It's been years since I've played this, and now its free :D
ReplyDeleteTime to play me some spheres of chaos!
Trippy! Awesome! Completely brain-smashing when played for long periods! I registered the game a long time ago and forgot about it since then... time for a blast from the past :)
ReplyDeleteI think it could do with some alpha blending or at least transparencies for its effects. It's nice though. I like the team mode.
ReplyDeleteWow this brings back good memories. Back when I was too young to drive and desperately needed something to cure my boredom.
ReplyDeleteAh, nice. I bought this like 10 years ago or something. Brilliant to hear that there is a new version coming!
ReplyDeleteOh man, this is great. I had to sit way back from my screen to look at it though. The resolution and colours remind me of a game called "Superball" that came out around 1992. What a great age that was.
ReplyDeleteThis goes into my "trip" folder, along with stuff like Whorld and Drempels. Don't know if I would actually be able to play a GAME though.
