SQUARE RESORT

Originally developed as a fan-made project before its commercial release by Family Soft in 1992, *Square Resort* is a unique action-shooting title for the Sharp X68000. Players pilot a high-tech hover tank across over 30 distinct 3D-effect topographical maps, tasked with defeating extraterrestrial real estate racketeers who have literally carved up and stolen pieces of the Earth. The gameplay centers on maneuvering through these puzzle-like environments to launch spheres at alien enemies, offering both solo campaign play and competitive two-player combat. As a notable example of a grassroots project successfully hitting the commercial market, the game stands as a creative piece of X68000 software history.

A catastrophic incident has occurred in which an unscrupulous group of extraterrestrial real estate developers has begun carving up the Earth’s land into jagged, square plots to carry away as stolen property. These invaders are now profiting immensely by converting the abducted terrain into their own intergalactic resorts. To stop this planetary theft, players take control of a high-tech hover tank. You must embark on a mission to engage these alien forces across stolen landscapes and restore the Earth’s land, safety, and future.
