PowerSlave (Console)

As part of the publishing agreement with Playmates Interactive, Lobotomy produced a console port of PowerSlave for the PlayStation and Saturn. However, it wasn’t possible to port the Build engine code over, so they had to remake the game completely. The end result wasn’t a straightforward albeit truncated conversion like the console ports for DOOM and its contemporaries, but an entirely new game that takes the original ideas and goes in a very different direction. So it’s worth examining this port as its own thing, especially since what it does is both fascinating and a massive improvement on the original.
