The Sentinel (video game)

The Sentinel is a classic, first-person shooter video game released in 1986, where players control a laser-wielding drone on a grid-based planet. The main goal is to locate and destroy the Sentinel, a powerful enemy, while collecting energy cubes to increase their abilities. As players gather more energy, they evolve into larger, more powerful forms, but this also makes them more vulnerable. The game emphasizes strategic exploration, resource management, and timing, challenging players to balance offense and defense in a increasingly complex environment. It is renowned for its innovative gameplay and atmospheric music.
