About the game

Dating from 1996, Alioth for C64 is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the leap into 3D.

By 1996 the landscape around releases like this was set — polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. Reading Alioth against that backdrop is part of what makes browsing an archive by year worthwhile.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the leap into 3D produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and polygons, CD-ROM storage and analogue control were rewriting what games looked and felt like. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.

Technical notes

Platform on record: C64. Release year: 1996. Details are drawn from public catalogue metadata; corrections and additions are welcome through the archive.
