The wonderful shooter Exolon, created in 1987 by the notorious Raffaele Cecco, already has several fan remakes and sequels, but this seems not to have happened yet. An indie developer named Steven Smith is working on Exolon 3D right now, a first-person shooter based exactly on good old Exolon.

In fact Stephen took the original ZX Spectrum graphics, converted them into 3D and put the action into a 3D world. Of course, the walkthrough became noticeably more complicated, and the playability of the original, this "remake" can't boast, but if you look at Exolon 3D as a fun experiment, then why not?

At the moment the first level is ready and this early beta version can be downloaded from official game page. It runs on Windows and Linux. If inspiration and enthusiasm don't leave Steven, he will finish the game, I guess, rather quickly.

Although it would be great if he decided to make a real 3D remake - with new graphics, not so straightforwardly transferred levels and so on. In general, to make the difference between the new game and the original the same difference between Duke Nukem II and Duke Nukem 3D. You can thank Stephen for his work and express your wishes at his twitter or at itch.io.

And here's a gameplay video for those who are too lazy to download the game:
