Originally created for Atari ST and Amiga, Terrorpods was later versioned for 8-bit systems. New Frontier was in charge of converting the game to MSX, starting from the version created by Icon Design for Spectrum.
While in 16-bit originals the strategy had a fundamental role, in the versions for their small brothers that aspect was dispensed with, turning the game into a simple direct-action arcade.
It was the letter of introduction of Psygnosys in our market, together with Barbarian, and a little before Obliterator. "Shadow of the Beast", the game that would make it world famous, would not come until a couple of years later.

No siempre es fácil pero aquí se ha conseguido que el juego ofrezca una muy buena sensación 3D. Sobre el juego, pues no conozco la versión de 16 bits así que no sé hasta que punto echaría en falta esos toques de estrategia que coméntais que ofrece las versiones de Amiga y Atari ST. Eso sí, no resulta difícil imaginar que algún "chasco" habría en su momento si por circunstancias alguién sólo conociese la versión de consolas de 16 bits en casa de algún amigo o conocido, no tuviesen esos ordenadores pero si un MSX y se lo comprase para su microordenador pensando que sería casi igual, salvando las lógicas distancias técnicas.
