7anOfSYNC Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hi all, I coded this game in 1990 and forgot to release it. Thanks to my good friend Troed, also of SYNC, the source code was recently recovered and I decided to make some final changes to it and push it out to the world. (Sorry for the slight launch delay. XD) I also made a new tune in MaxYMiser to spice things up a bit. The game was inspired by Bounder on the C64 and it's kind of difficult as hell, but with practice one can get pretty damn good at it. There are three levels and then it warps back to level 1 - try to get the highest score you can! You can shoot standard rockets with the fire button and special missiles by pushing up and pressing fire at the same time. There are lots of dangerous tiles to land on (and even shoot); you'll learn which ones with practice. You can pick up some cool stuff like a little helper that will destroy aliens and dangerous tiles for you. You can switch between music and sound effects with the "M" and "S" keys. Minimum requirements: standard ST, 1 MB. Joystick in port #1 (if you consider the mouse port #0). Runs well in Hatari and Steem though the audio gets messed up (especially in Steem). Not guaranteed to be bug free by any means. Have fun! 7an/SYNC https://demozoo.org/productions/168909/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggn Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Thanks for releasing it - better late than never! I got a measly 2755 points so far. Anyone done better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nurmix Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Looks cool. Having just recently dug my STE out of storage, I'll have to check this out. Thanks!
