…and you can’t get a much bigger bargain than that ladies and gentlemen.

With its roots in the world of the Acorn Archimedes, Iain McLeods Spheres Of Chaos is, without a doubt, a work of complete and utter genius. Having had its fair share of problems during its life in the world of shareware, it’s nice to see the game now being made available to everybody under the sun for nowt because it’s one of those rare games (that sadly don’t come along so often) that love it or hate it, you really should at least play it once to experience it because there’s nothing else like it out there.

Only Minters recent XBLA opus Space Giraffe comes as close to sheer headfucking visuals, and without taking anything away from Jeffs superb game - there’s something about the lower resolution effects of Spheres Of Chaos that induces a more tripped out zone to slide yourself into. It will break your eyes, if you’re squeamish it may even break your mind. If you’re epileptic - I’d probably avoid it. But if you’ve not seen it at all? Shame on you.

I can’t promise it’ll be the game for you, but I can promise that it’s certainly unique -still- at the time of writing and at the cost of zero pounds and zero pence you’d be a fool not to invest your time in it.

You can download the game here. It’s available for Windows, Linux, RiscOS and even PS2 Linux.

I also heartily recommend checking out the pics from Spheres Of Chaos 2008. I laughed. Hard. And Iain, if you’re reading this… I can’t wait.
