Developed by Lucasfilm Games and published by Epyx, Koronis Rift arrived on the Commodore 64 as a strategy game.
Lucasfilm Games also made Maniac Mansion, Strike Fleet and Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders for the C64.
Koronis Rift is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to think and plan
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you've played the C64 hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want quick action without planning ahead
- you are looking for something to play with friends
