Ignore the looks - play it!
Evasion 2 was developed by Chris Skellern for Budgie UK and is a maze game where we run around collecting pills whilst being chased by the nasties. Yes, I know this sounds all too familiar, but the structure of the gameplay's mechanics is different for a frantic rush. Each level offers a chance to collect power-ups - to freeze the baddies, drop smart bombs, and gain extra lives. Heck, you can even drop mines in their path, which is a brilliant touch, I thought. The enemy's AI is really good and makes the game demanding.
There might only be 8 levels, but completing them grants the chance to do it again, with extra-zippy baddies!! You know, this is a perfect example of how cool Atari ST retro gaming is. Evasion is maddening, and I enjoyed the frenzied challenge. It's brilliant, and I'm sure you will love its adrenaline rush.
Ignore how it looks. Yes, it isn't 1982, but since when did aesthetics matter?
These humble-looking tiny blighters are actually infuriatingly intelligent and fast!
I came so close to finally completing the game - and without cheating! :o)
