The Light Corridor is a puzzle video game launched in 1990 by Infogrames, available on various systems such as the Atari ST, Amiga, and MS-DOS. The gameplay is presented from a first-person viewpoint.
Plot
In this title, players aim to capture beams of light to brighten stars within a newly formed universe, offering an original thematic experience.
Gameplay
The player maneuvers a paddle to strike a metallic ball along a corridor; the ball rebounds and must be struck again to prevent losing a life. Advancement requires tracking the ball through obstacles like moving elevator-type doors, demanding swift reflexes and tactical decision-making. Power-ups scattered throughout assist in progression. The corridor’s hue shifts every four levels over a total of fifty stages.
The game accommodates one or two players, with turns alternating in multiplayer mode. Additionally, a level editor is included, allowing users to create and save their own custom stages, thereby increasing replayability.
Reception
Sinclair User granted the game a Gold award with a rating of 93%. Crash characterized it as "simple but wildly addictive," while Your Sinclair highlighted its challenging nature alongside strong replay value.
