Dr. Zarbon has some robots and Rick has to fight them.

Storyline and map: No storyline and the map is very crappy.

Graphics: Rick is new; the way his t-shirt moves when in idle position is funny. The robots are new too and they look ok. The statusbar look allright and is surveyable.

Music: There is not much music. The sort-of-Godfather-scene has some nice music.

Good: The author states that he had no programming or scripting experience when he made this. Considering that this D-mod turned out to be not that bad.

Not so good: This D-mod is a strange and not balanced mixture of all kind of things. It looks more like an experiment then a D-mod. The end is that Rick got stuck in a cave and then the game crashes - or is that supposed to be the end? When you've performed a task, like killing some bad boyfriend, the conversation has not changed when returning to the girl who asked you to handle her boyfriend. Although the Godfather-scene is somewhat amusing, it doesn't fit in with the rest.

Overall: No story, no plot, this is just a bit of everything which turns out to be nothing at all.

Remark: The author should have waited making one until he had some experience.

Fit for: No one.

This isn't really a bad little game.It was even shorter than
some of mine but it worked pretty good.Could have used
a 'freeze' for the conversation with Corey but otherwise things
were alright.I rather enjoyed the little pillbots and their new sound.
Too bad the game that was described at the end was never made.
In the end, it was definately only a demo and even less of a demo
than most.

Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
Actually, Zoltron demo isn't the real name of this D-Mod. The full name is: The Preview of the Demo of the Beta of the Shareware Version of Zoltron: Protector of The Galaxy Cluster - The Game (version 12.15.84), according to the menuscreen and Dmod.diz file . Anyway, you're reading this review because you wanna know if it's good or not so I'd better get started telling you why this D-Mod isn't good at all. The graphics are drawn with Paint which makes them cheaply (just like DethLord said). Dink walks a bit weird and when you are looking left or right and you hit the hitbutton , the character has moved a bit. The statusbar and the choice menu have also been replaced with other graphics. The author also forgot to use ScreenMatch with the sprites, some people don't talk and other objects are moving weird.

The plot is that Dr. Zarbon has robots in the area and they're causing trouble for the people in the area. You can also see these malfunctioning robots and attack them. There are potions everywhere and you get the chance to see the formerly largest tree in the world!

There's not really much positive to say about this one - I can't think anything actually..The plot, graphics, sound and map are all bad; don't download this so you continue your happy life with the good D-Mods this game has to offer
