Botanic (English / Spanish)

Navigate vibrant, twisting mazes in Botanic, a cooperative maze and collect game for two players released by Itisa in 1983. Players control characters tasked with gathering scattered plant seeds while avoiding patrolling robotic guardians within these enclosed environments. Utilizing an eight-way joystick and a single button for action, each player must coordinate their movements to successfully retrieve all the seeds before time runs out, or be captured by the pursuing robots. The game’s visuals are characterized by bright colors and geometric designs, creating a distinctive aesthetic alongside its lively sound effects produced by a General Instrument AY8910 chip. Botanic's gameplay emphasizes teamwork and spatial awareness as players attempt to outmaneuver their adversaries within the maze's confines. The internal workings of the game rely on a Zilog Z80 processor operating at 3.072 MHz, supported by various memory chips. Botanic provides a unique arcade experience centered around collaborative problem-solving and skillful navigation, offering an engaging challenge for two players seeking a shared gaming adventure.
