iesposta Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I made a custom sound font for this game in the 1990s (available below). This shows off a little bit of the sounds: This game was originally for Macintosh OS8 OS9. Very fun Asteroids with bonus pick-ups and digitized sound. It was released as muti-platform PC using SDL. The game can be downloaded here: https://www.libsdl.org/projects/Maelstrom/ My custom sound font is attached. You back-up the existing Maelstrom_Sounds. Unzip my attached file, and replace the original with my sound. Maelstrom_Sounds.zip I usually remap the controls to the keypad as 4=left 6=right 5-fire "where your thumb rests"=thrust and then "to the left of where your thumb rests OR spacebar"= shields Then you can play with one hand. Or remap the controls to a controller pad. Comments appreciated. I spent a lot of time finding samples that match what is going on in the game. Some of the default sounds were just too good to change, so I left those alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 I need to add that in the capture above, the bottom of the screen is not shown. When displayed properly, it shows score, level, bonus items picked up, shields... I though this would be more popular, being an Asteroids and Led Zeppelin mash up game. I wonder if not many people visit "Classic Gaming General"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
