About

Roidz is a small Asteroids-style arcade game written in Pascal by an author posting as Pigeon (dethpigeon@hotmail.com). Released as a 0.9a build through the Info-Mac archive in December 2000, it ships with thorough documentation tucked inside the StuffIt distribution.A Hobbyist Pascal ProjectRoidz was assembled in Pascal, putting it in the long Mac tradition of Think Pascal and CodeWarrior Pascal hobby projects. The 0.9a label flags it as a late-alpha build that the author considered playable but still pre-release.Compact Arcade ActionThe author's own description is brief: a small and cool game. The naming and era place it squarely in the Asteroids lineage of single-screen rock-shooting arcade titles that were a staple of shareware Mac development.Documentation IncludedRather than relying on a website, the distribution carries its own thorough documentation inside the StuffIt files, covering controls and gameplay so the package is self-contained once unstuffed.Source Available SeparatelyA companion Pascal source release, roidz-09a-src.hqx, was posted to Info-Mac's dev/src directory on the same day, making Roidz one of the era's open-source Mac hobby games.
