I would love to see that game on the Colecovision

Love that game! .... specially the music & sfx

[coleco_master]

Great idea... It looks very nice!

[schuwalker]

Very cool game. I just played one at a New Years party and love it!

 

It does use a unique control scheme (Tron-esque joystick and a spinner)....

That looks really awesome! That would be great on the Colecovision! Especially with JF's arcade controller! Looks like a ton of fun!

Another vote here. I loved Mad Planets back in the Arcades. As far as I can tell, no port exists of this game. Is it even playable on MAME?

I think it exists on Commodore 64 ... not sure.

Yes, I used to play it quite a bit 5-6 years ago in MAME. It plays reasonably well using a two-button rotation scheme -- maybe on higher skill levels you need the instantaneousness of the spinner, but I was able to do OK using SNES-style triggers for rotation.

 

Is there ever any reason to stop shooting in the game? If not, since it's always rapid-fire anyway, perhaps you could use the keypad to toggle autofire on and off, and use the fire buttons for rotation. Just a thought, anyway.

there is an unofficial port on C64 called Mega Apocalypse

 

To play it on mame I use a Joystick and an atari Driving Controller
