===Quazatron===
Andrew Braybrook's [[Graftgold]] partner, [[Steve Turner (game programmer)|Steve Turner]], wrote a version of ''Paradroid'' for the ZX Spectrum called ''[[Quazatron]]'' in 1986, also published by Hewson. Gameplay was similar, but on an [[Isometric projection|isometric]] playing field, and based in cities rather than spacecraft.
