Play Terrorpods Online

I first played Terrorpods on the Amiga back in 1987, a game developed by Psygnosis Limited and published by Dro Soft. It was a time when the Amiga was starting to show what it could do with action games, and this one fit right in with its sci-fi theme and clean visuals. You don't hear much about it these days, but it had its own quiet appeal among the platform's early releases.

You pilot a small ship called the Colian through a series of maze-like screens, each infested with alien creatures known as Terrorpods. Your main goal is to rescue human colonies by gathering resources and salvaging components; these let you eventually construct an ally ship to help in fights. The ship handles with a noticeable inertia, making navigation tricky as you avoid enemies and line up shots with your limited supply of guided missiles. The pace is deliberate, and the difficulty can feel unforgiving if you waste ammunition or crash into walls. It feels tense and strategic, demanding careful movement and precise aim under pressure.
