Iridis Alpha, developed by Jeff Minter and released by Hewson in 1986, stands as a unique entry in the Commodore 64 shoot 'em up genre.

You control Gilby, a robot capable of both aerial and terrestrial movement, navigating the planet Iridis Alpha. The game introduces a dual-screen mechanic, where players must manage energy levels and switch between parallel universes to survive.

The gameplay emphasizes balance, as excessive or insufficient energy leads to destruction. The title is renowned for its challenging mechanics and innovative design, earning it a dedicated following among retro gaming enthusiasts.
