The Sentinel

My mother's touch lingers in matter;
memory becomes sculpture.

Similar to a good record or song, some video games accompany me ever since I was first introduced to them. "The Sentinel" ("The Sentry" in the US) from 1986 is such a game. I was first introduced to it when I bought the tape version at a discount for my Commodore 64 (which was somewhere in late 1987).

I also played the AtariST, Amiga and ZX Spectrum versions, the latter being my favourite 8 bit version.

Today "The Sentinel" is often described as a "3D strategy game, involving resource management and timing". But back in the day the concept was absolutely new and often bulkily described as a "3D variant of the classic chess game".

And it seems that this game made an impression on other people as well, which is why there is a nice "fan remake" for modern systems: Pinnacle

If you like those 1980s "chequerd floor" aesthetics and like to solve logic puzzles but do not yet know "The Sentinel", then you should try out "Pinnacle"

One of the more sophisticated strategy games of the #1980s published for #8bit platforms was #TheSentinel also known as #TheSentry - it's difficult to describe the gameplay, but imagine a chess inspired, fast paced 3D strategy game.

While the original version is still a good recommendation to every #RetroGaming fan, there is also a modern fan remake called #Pinnacle and those who are familiar with The Sentinel may like to have a closer look:

For all you #PCGamers out there - who remembers #Thunderscape from #SSI?

Well did you know that there was also a trilogy of novels released alongside the game?
