Blastoid! A game inside a game?!
I’ve always liked it when game developers do these things and put little arcade mini games in their games. I think the first time I discovered anything like it was in Space Quest 3 which came out in 1989. The arcade game was called Astro Chicken. It was a very simple game where you have to try to land a chicken on a trampoline. The arcade game “Blastoid” in Earth Taken 3 is also very simple and small. I’ll keep the rest of the game a mystery until release. This is a first for me, and I’ve always wanted to do something like this, so yay!

is Blastoid anything like Asteroids?
It actually has a lot of similarities :)

I like how the graffiti is polite enough to advertise the arcade game.

Hehe yeah it's not overly realistic. I wanted to put the graphics onto the arcade machine somehow, but it ended up being too small and cramped there to look good in my opinion. My weird logic is that some survivors scavenged the old machine from somewhere and then brought it here, after which they spray-painted the logo onto the wall. Not too believable either, but good enough for me.
