for #RandomGameSaturday it's Isolated Warrior!

it's kind of weird how overlooked this game is! an autoscrolling isometric run and gun shooter, similar to Zaxxon in presentation, with beautiful graphics and some spectacular enemy designs

here's a sharper look at the graphics but in all honesty, if you haven't seen a vector monitor in person you'll never understand just HOW sharp it really looks, like perfect lasers etched into the screen

i dug out my Vectrex tonight so i'm experiencing Peak Gaming from 1983 rn

any chance one of the other numbers, like maybe the model number, could be the answer? i wonder because my Vectrex was made by General Consumer Electronics and the photos you posted are the later Milton Bradley versions, and the model number format is different 🤔 what a weird puzzle!

i kinda went crazy in Virtual On today ngl...lost most of my matches but this was my most wins since i picked the game up 🎉🎉🎉 The Century of Viper-II has arrived

also i've mastered the so called "She's Lost Control" dive and the next person to challenge me is getting it rammed up their ass

the funny thing about Blue Stinger is that you eventually stop thinking about how insane it is that 90% of the rooms in the game start with the camera like this

if i were to take a wild guess i'd say it might be related to the player designation colors from Chu Chu Rocket! that was their inaugural online Dreamcast game iirc
