Plutos is a vertically scrolling shooter developed by Tynesoft and published by Micro Value in 1987.[1] The game was released for the Amiga and Atari ST, and was a heavily inspired by the 1984 arcade game Star Force. In 1991, the game was re-issued on Prism Leisure's "16-Bit Pocket Power" imprint.[2]

Reception

[edit]

Although warning that the ST already had "scrolling shoot-em-up" games, David Plotkin of STart in 1987 liked Plutos's graphics and level design, concluding that "this is an entertaining way to work off your aggressions".[3]
