Philips Videopac 55 Neutron Star on the Magnavox Odyssey 2 by Philips Export and Magnavox

Dive into the captivating world of Neutron Star, where you pilot a spaceship tasked with defending a system of satellites against dangerous planet fragments. This action-packed game on the Magnavox Odyssey 2 offers a unique blend of strategy and skill as you navigate the perils of space.

Gameplay Overview:

In Neutron Star, your mission is to collect and neutralize boulders cast by an explosion before they obliterate your satellites. Using a transport platform, you must couple each boulder to your ship and maneuver towards the neutron star at the screen's left edge. The neutron star's magnetic force pulls on your ship, demanding precise control to avoid destruction. Releasing the boulders close enough to the neutron star ensures their neutralization.

Challenges and Mechanics:

Momentum and Control: The spaceship displays realistic momentum, requiring careful navigation to prevent being drawn into the neutron star.

Boulder Management: Destroy boulders with rockets when not carrying them or transport and release them to the neutron star for disposal.

ncreasing Difficulty: As the game progresses, multiple boulders appear simultaneously, changing colors from red to purple as their numbers grow.

Satellite Protection: You must protect 16 satellites, with the game's difficulty escalating as more are destroyed. When only 2 satellites remain, the magnetic power intensifies, heightening the challenge.

Skill Levels:

Neutron Star offers 4 skill levels to test your mettle:

Level 1: Slow-moving boulders.

Level 2: Fast-moving boulders.

Level 3: Slow-moving boulders with increased satellite destruction.

Level 4: Fast-moving boulders with rapid satellite destruction.

The game concludes when only 2 satellites are left standing, making each playthrough a race against time and precision.

Immerse yourself in Neutron Star on the Magnavox Odyssey 2, a timeless classic that blends intense gameplay with strategic depth, challenging you to protect your satellites from cosmic chaos.
