Psytron is a 1984 video game developed by Psy-Sci and published by Beyond Software.

Psytron is a game in which the player is the automated brain controlling the defense and maintenance aboard a space station that is currently under attack.[1]

Psytron was programmed by Paul Voysey and Tayo Olowu.[2]

Carol Hutchins reviewed Psytron for White Dwarf #56, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "I found it very exciting and thought that the addition of Freeze Time a very novel twist. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who finds playing wave after wave of identical, invincible opponents is tedious in the extreme."[1]
