North Star is a right-scrolling action-platformer game developed by Jon O'Brien and published by Gremlin Graphics in 1988. The game is reminiscent of Exolon, featuring vibrant color graphics and smooth animation across ten challenging levels. Players navigate through various obstacles and enemies in a futuristic setting, aiming to reach the end of each level.
The game is designed for the ZX Spectrum platform, supporting a range of control options including redefinable keyboards, Sinclair, Cursor, or Kempston joysticks. This flexibility allows players to choose their preferred method of control, enhancing the gameplay experience. The primary instruction for players is straightforward: move to the right, overcoming any challenges that arise.
North Star includes cheat codes that can alter the gameplay, such as granting infinite lives or removing all enemies. These cheats offer players the opportunity to explore the game without the usual constraints, potentially discovering new strategies and secrets within the levels.
The game does not have any sequels or prequels, standing alone as a unique entry in the action-platformer genre. Its combination of engaging gameplay mechanics and colorful presentation has made it a memorable title for fans of the ZX Spectrum era.
