In 1987 Hewson released ' Exolon ' for the ZX Spectrum, C64 and Amstrad CPC, with a later conversion to the Enterprise 128, Amiga and Atari ST. In the game, you played as a sci-fi soldier across multiple screens blasting away enemies and defending yourself against gun defences as well as homing missiles. Well if you remember this fine game then make sure to check out Space-Time Games latest release called 'Exolon - The Continuing Adventures'; a retro gaming classic by Hewson that has received an unofficial sequel!
Here's the latest from the website. "Vitorc blasted his way thru 125 screens of alien slime. Its what his job was and its what he did best. He succeeded and promptly flew home... The "Earth Council" thanked him for his efforts but wouldn't allow him to land on Earth - EVER - because of possible alien contamination. Dejected and bemused Vitorc returned to the dreaded planet only to find that the aliens had rebuilt their cities and were preparing an army for the destruction of earth once more. Even though Earth shunned him after saving them once, Vitorc, the true hero, decided he must save the planet once again. Anyway, those damn aliens had his ship in a magnetic tractor beam powered by a huge reactor so he had to do the dirty deed !! Kill the baddies, blow the reactor and get off this damned planet..."
