Cholo by Ovine is a remake of an early 3D game for computers like the Spectrum and the Commodore 64. This free remake apparently recreates the game faithfull, but with a much improved but still retro looking graphical style reminiscent of Tron.

After a nuclear war humanity resides underground. Your job is remote control a rat droid on the surface for some reason and find other droids to take control of and save humanity or something.

It's a fairly simple game, but must have been quite impressive at the time. I never played the original, but I might have liked it, although the wireframe graphics would probably have annoyed me.

Apparently Cholo is also an ethnic slur or something. I had no idea.

This is a request by rhydermike.

Pseudo Retro is a series of let's play videos about modern games that have a retro feel about them, whether graphically or in their playing style.

Intro music is from the classic cracktro by Nemesis (and also apparently the game Heimdall):
