Draconian is a computer game released in 1984. It was written by Mike Hughey and published via "Tom Mix Software". The game was only available for TRS-80 Color Computer. Draconian is based upon the game Bosconian where the player needs to navigate a space shuttle and needs to destroy the enemies bases. The enemy will do a counterattack and tries to destroy the users' space shuttle.
Furthermore, Draconian had some extra features:
- The enemy got one or more prisoners who can be set free optionally by the player to gain more points.
- The space shuttle is being attacked by little dragons.
- There is one big indestructible dragon which chases the player when time is running out.
- The user needs to avoid mines, asteroids, ...
To go to the next level the user needs to destroy all bases. If done, a small tunnel will open. The space shuttle will explode when the borders of the tunnel are hit. In case the user flies against the borders of the field, the space shuttle will bounce back.
