Pentagorat is a new (well, a few months old) isometric platform game for the Commodore Vic-20. Yes, you read
Like someone with a weird accent saying “paint a goat”
that right. Taking the role of a wee dude who looks awfully like ZX Spectrum unofficial mascot Horace, the player finds themselves locked in a weird castle without explanation and has to find their way out. Despite the infamous “fat” pixels of the Vic, it all looks surprisingly good and, even better, moves at a fair old pace. The relatively small memory of the Vic also means that rather than the meandering corridors sometimes to be found in games of this type (yes, Bobby Bearing, I’m looking at you) puzzles and action come pretty thick and fast with most rooms providing some kind of challenge or conundrum to overcome.
Available as a digital file or in good old 1980s format. It tastes great, as part of this nutritious breakfast.
