JamesD Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Another great classic game ported to the Oric. The initial version is missing the sampled sound but that is in the works. Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link Wait, someone ported a game to a vacuum cleaner? I kid. I actually had never heard of this particular microcomputer. That it is British explains why. Still, I always am fascinated to find out about obscure early computer brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link Can you actually complete the mission in this version or did you translate the buggy 7800 code? I didn't write it so I'm not really sure. I believe the author wrote it from scratch so I'd guess that you can complete it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'd figure if it was ported it was from the C64. Apple ][ is also a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 I believe the author used the C64 version as a guide but the code is his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilighte Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) He normally writes the code from scratch from what i understand. Where is the fun in converting a game from another system? To be the most fun is had from observing the behaviour of the game elements and rewriting the game from scratch. I have not seen the Atari version, only C64, Spectrum and Electron/BBC And yes the game is completable, even in impossible mode (Difficulty level and 2 hours game time). In the 80's porting was popular, particularly from the Spectrum to Amstrad and BBC to Electron but rarely did the port take advantage of the destination machines true capabilities.
