Rybags #4 Posted January 16, 2019 Good work... I remember seeing pics of it in a magazine in the 80s but have never played the actual game though it looked interesting. Good to see the voids in the catalog slowly but surely being filled in. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunstar #5 Posted January 16, 2019 I finally started my game after doing the graphics a couple of years ago. One of my old favourite Spectrum games... I'd been wondering what happened to this game after reading about it in the pages of Excel a couple years back. I didn't know/forgot, this was actually you!

+CharlieChaplin #8 Posted January 16, 2019 Hmmm, when reading the headline, I thought this is mariuszw or XXL converting the game from ZX Spectrum or Fandal converting the game from the BBC, now I see it is RS doing the game. The gfx look good, still I wonder if porting the game could be easier and faster ?!? And I am also wondering that neither mariuszw nor XXL nor Fandal has not already ported the game, since they ported several "Ultimate play the game" programs*... or if one of them may already be working on the port ?!? * e.g. ports like Alien 8 (Fandal), Knight Lore (XXL), Lunar Jetman (Fandal), Nightshade (XXL), Pentagram (mariuszw), Gunfright (mariuszw) have already been ported (or converted) to the A8... @Bob: This is no thumb down from me, just a suggestion that it could be a good idea to contact mariuszw, XXL and Fandal and ask them, if one of them is already working on a port, so you can join and do not "waste your time" and find out later that someone else did release the game (conversion or port) faster than you did...?!?

Lost Dragon #14 Posted January 19, 2019 Great stuff Should make up for the cancelled ST version back in the day. Finally the game heads for the Atari once more . 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LambdaCalculus379 #17 Posted January 29, 2019 This looks very cool! I've played the Speccy version via Fuse (and the GBA remake which is not half bad), and my 800XL does need some new software! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
