Mission Omega on the Memotech MTX 512 vintage home computer. Retro gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.
It's also here so that I can embed it, along with most of the games in my collection, on my website (see link above).

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

It's stuff like this that makes me wonder if there was ever any type of QA on some of these old games before release.

If you saw the quality of the tape inlay and label, you wouldn't be at all surprised by the dubious quality of this game.

Photocopy quality generic thing, with the title of the game itself being hand written.

Even the better quality releases had fairly poor inlays.

I guess the 512 sold so poorly that only bedroom coders bothered with it, so the only people who tested them were the coders themselves.

That's my guess, anyway.

[SteveBenway]

You should try playing it. If you don't puke, you'll have a nervous breakdown.

I just went in the attic and found 2 mtx512 computers, but the cases are printed mtx512 s2, the s2 in the same silver as the mtx512 but half font height. I cant find any reference to them anywhere, is it a mk2 ? is it expanded? is it a clone......

Great video. I'd be gutted if I spent £10 on this game back in the 80's... just impossible! Unless your MTX is overclocked!?

You need to be a chinese ping pong player to handle this.

I can't stay alive for 30 secs without hitting into a wall even without the counter-entities. Considering the repeating annoying weapon sound, I guess the makers of this game also didn't expect you to play this longer than a few mins.

I had one of these machines. It was a real good machine for it's day. But I guess it was too expensive to compete witht the Spectrum & the C-64.

If anyone are familiar with an 80's movie by the name of "Weird Science" U will notice the Computer wiz kid, used a Memotech, with the big case. Just like the one I had. And it was possible to get a 'huge' gfx card for it. But at a HUGE price as well.

Wow, a Defender/Gradius clone, not bad.
