You grab coins for the ticket you never had time to buy. The ticket inspector has been chasing you since Loutraki. So has the goat. If you don't make it, Babis will season the skewers with supermarket oregano. In Piraeus, that is never forgiven.

10.10.2026 - 'Paradroid' for Plus/4 released - free for download
This faithful Plus/4 conversion of the C64 classic, originally created by Andrew Braybrook, which combines C and Assembly coding knowledge with the AI assistance, has been pushed to the max, in order to convert a cornerstone of the C64 library. Eight ships, each with 20 decks, to be cleaned out from the gone-mad droids, a fast logic game to relay between their circuits, a variegated ranking system to climb up, a fast paced action overall... all the features seem to be perfectly ported on the Plus/4. The real visible compromise (but ultimately, not excessively disruptive) is the format clash of the sprites – which must be multicolor – on the original hires background. Paradroid on Plus/4 surprisingly retains all the dynamism of the original on the C64, moving so many things on the screen with extreme fluidity.
