Terra Cognita

One of our entries for the first Retro Remakes game competition which came in at 10th place out of 83. Terra Cognita, a frantic action maze shooter from the Amstrad and C64, updated in glorious 3D!

Instructions

The game is shown on plan view with the landscape scrolling down or from third person. You play thre role of the Mining Engineers, escapeing in their small scout ship. You have to make your way over 100 screens of tortuous terrain to the mothership waiting at the end.

Fly over the terrain passing over “tiles” that active to add extra fuel - speed you up - slow you down. Avoid the “time slips” that return you right back to screen 1 !!!!

Remake Details

This has been a great game to work on. Not the most popular in terms of remakes, most people scratch their heads when we told them what we were remaking, but it’s been fun and I think we have been able to improve it a lot.

For the purists out there we are keeping the 2D viewpoint in as an option.
