    Review from woodgrainwonderland.com

    Spiderdroid (Froggo, 1987)

    Well, I got duped again. Spiderdroid is a full-on hack of Parker Brothers’ Amidar and not a particularly good one at that. The control is particularly sluggish and inaccurate (the original wasn’t great on those counts, either, but they’re even worse here). Otherwise, just about everything else is the same, right down to the style of the score counter. The Froggo/Sancho group of companies were notorious for releasing poor games but at least they were original content most of the time – I never thought they would stoop to outright theft. I rated Parker Brothers’ Amidar a C+ but Spiderdroid gets an F for ethical reasons.

  2. Most of the 5200 and 8 bit computer releases are arcade or Activision games.
    Wouldn't it be too difficult to get copyright permission for all those games for a flashback release?
