Infodroid

Infodroid is a video game in the action genre developed by Denton Designs and published by Beyond originally released in 1986. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC.

Infodroid is set on a planet that deals exclusively with administration and focuses on the delivery of information and packages. The player is in charge of a start-up company and tries to become a big player within an established competition.

All deliveries are executed by droids traveling in five streams (two forward and two backward) with different speeds; the central one is static and allows entry into a variety of rooms: junctions, dispatch rooms where new delivery jobs can be taken and old ones concluded, information rooms where game options can be changed, and garages for repair work. Along the way, droids from other companies try to ram the player (hence the need for repairs), which must be avoided by jumping between streams. With the money earned by delivering packages to the correct destination, new droids can be purchased or old ones can be upgraded, e. g. better shields or power-ups that allow jumping several streams at once.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
