About the game
Dating from 1982, Alien Dropout for BBC Micro, Electron is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the early cartridge-and-arcade boom.
the early cartridge-and-arcade boom was a period of rapid change for the medium: the arcade was king and the first home consoles were racing to catch up. Placing Alien Dropout in that timeline shows where it sat as the industry evolved.
