Kirmo Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 (edited) UFO Attack - Tomy's Revenge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E_3rWzJRoo First of all this is not an emulation of the real game released by Tomy Electronic in '80 for their popular handheld video games , btw this Atari VCS version is very close to original counterpart . The game is 80% finished , wrote in assembler , should be fitted on a standard 4KB cartridge. For those unfamiliar with the original game : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KPktD53nzg Edited April 23, 2012 by Kirmo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerSpaceFan Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Is Tomy's UFO Attack any relation to Bambino's UFO Master? They look similar, I ask because Bambino's UFO Master was actually used in the Blade Runner soundtrack in the track called "Memories of Green". Kinda cool movie trivia there.

Kirmo Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Thanks. @ComputerSpaceFan : I don't know the story of Bambino's UFO Master , but searching on the net they look different ; the in-game sound effects are almost similar for missiles launch and hits ("bip" & "bop" ) .

+Nathan Strum Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Could've sworn I replied to this yesterday... Anyway, what I thought I posted, was that I always wanted that game as a kid (or more to the point, the Cosmic Combat version of it). The Bambino one was supposedly licensed from Tomy (according to this page). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donssword Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 (edited) Tomy UFO Attack and Bambino Master Blaster feature two different game styles. I still own my Bambino Master Blaster--loved it to death as a kid but don't play it enough now. BMB features alien "saucers" for enemies rather than Space Invader style critters. And rather than marching towards you Space Invaders style, the Bambino saucers fly down towards you, like a slower Mattel Battlestar Galactica Space Alert. Sometimes the saucers divide from 1 into 2, or slide off the side of the screen. I have to say that the claim that Bambino licensed this game from Tomy has to be false. The gameplay is different (side-to-side descent vs. vertical fall) and the VFDs are quite different. This YouTube video shows you the basics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgxR9xi4Q9I Edited June 10, 2012 by donssword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerSpaceFan Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 And you can just about hear those same beeps and bloops in Blade Runner (turn your speakers up) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg0cmhjdiLs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr SQL Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Cool game Kirmo, nice job capturing the retro feel of that Tomy handheld! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
