Prodigy -2-D WIRE FRAME BATTLE SIMULATOR-

Released in 1989 through Brother Industries' "Takeru" software vending terminal, Prodigy is an SF action-shooter defined by its distinct, industrial wireframe aesthetics on the PC-8801. Developed by Login Soft, the game’s simulator-like atmosphere proved that highly creative visual expression was possible even within the limited development environments of the era. Despite its simplicity, the game features a surprising depth of strategy, securing its reputation as a hidden gem among 88-series enthusiasts.

Set in a desolate future, you take on the role of a pilot operating "Prodigy," a cutting-edge combat weapon developed by the resistance. Your objective is to breach the massive defense network managed by a hostile organization and reach their command center. As the simulator battle begins, you must navigate through a stark, wireframe virtual space and eliminate waves of incoming enemy craft to reach the heart of the base.
