Triaxos

Triaxos is a video game in the action genre developed by Pennsoft and published by 39 Steps originally released in 1987. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum.

A mind probe has been sent to the maximum security prison Triaxos to retrieve information from a prisoner who is the only man who can activate the most powerful weapon in the galaxy. You have landed at the prison 10 minutes before the probe to find and bring the man back to your ship in 30 minutes. You have to search the prison, destroying the robot guards and exploring each of the rooms.

The floor of each room is anti-gravity, so you can stand on it to use other exits on any wall. To move to another wall you must use the Face-Lifts, a disk in the middle of the room that allows you to move to another wall. Some exits are hidden, but the map of each room shows the location of the exit. Dropping a DHE-IV Charge on the floor causes it to appear. These are limited but you can pick up more along the way. You have to find a Jet-Pack for the prisoner, a Defense Key to control the prison defenses and a weapon to destroy the mind probe. You have to locate the communications room to call your ship and a cloning room to clone yourself, but at the cost of energy.

Triaxos is a flat screen arcade adventure with isometric view. In addition to the main play area, you can also see your energy bars, the amount of charges, the score, and a timer that goes to zero. There are also two maps, one of the entire prison and one of the room you are in, showing hidden exits and objects on any wall.

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