<a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54521">Version 0.9.4</a> of <a href="http://freedroid.sourceforge.net/">FreeDroid</a> is available and has been for a couple of weeks, but I just now stumbled on it. What is it? It's a remake of <i>Paradroid</i>, fun game for the C64, only this one is for the PC. There's several versions, including <i>FreeDroid RPG</i>, which has the following features:

<blockquote>FREEDROID RPG: The Freedroid RPG is an extension/modification of the classical freedroid engine into an RPG. The main differences to the classical version are as follows:
<br>
<ul><li>The Tux is the main character of the rpg. He is not displayed as a ball like in Freedroid but rather as an animated character, while other droids and humans in the game are still represented as the balls with some number or code in them.</li><li>Dialogs and chatting with friendly droids and humans. Multiple-choice menus and voice samples (with subtitles for those without sound).</li><li>Melee weapons, armour and other items to be equipped have been added.</li><li>An automap feature was added.</li><li>Saving and loading of games.</li><li>A shop to trade things.</li><li>Controls are different: Mouse can be used to do everything. Joystick is not supported for moving around any more.</li><li>The archive size (including sound samples) is about 10 times as big as for the classical version. I'd like to appologize to all 56K modem owners at this point.</li></ul></blockquote>
<br>
<br>
I admit, this is a strange one, but even the strange ones need some lovin' somewhere. If anything, it should give those of you who loved the original something new to love.
