New ColecoVision game demo available

Just in time for the holidays, something new to play.  This game was inspired by a game from 1980 called Space Zap with a touch of Star Castle thrown in to the mix and a hint of Asteroids to finish it off.   Like my Asteroids port it's meant to be vector-ish and I was going for an early 80's retro look and feel.  Left and right stick rotate your cannon around the base, the left button fires plasma bursts and the right button slows down the rotation for more accurate aiming.  The space station's shields auto-regenerate over time but in an emergency you can give them a boost with any key on the pad, other than pause.  The demo lets you play the first round of the game.

Very cool, watched the video on YouTube.  I used to play the heck out of Space Fortress aka Space Zap on my Astrocade back in the day, crazy game!
