Schmutzpuppe Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 Whatever, but thanks for the tip. It just an updated version of my last year entry and one helicopter game in a year maybe enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I like it. I like the action of this game. It is a lot faster than cave 1k. (but no moving walls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but no moving walls) Right, Thomas didn't like the speed of the old version and he was right. It's more fun this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmutzpuppe Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi there! But you get it done in time this year? Greetings, Manuel 939926[/snapback] It was done long before the deadline I just forgot to submit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd-w Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 It was done long before the deadline I just forgot to submit it. 940087[/snapback] I think the point is that you could submit it to this years competition instead? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris 940119[/snapback] hm, right I will think about it but I am not sure if the contest need the same type of game three times in a row (last year the great cave 1k and 2003 the old superfly version).

The competition is rather low on entries this year (at the moment), so there is a good chance. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmutzpuppe Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Finally I just now submitted the game. Thanks for the hint guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 16-bit field, yeah (if I could wrote an 8K "Hello World" program for a 16-bit system I could win by default) but the 8-bit field looks pretty well-populated. Perhaps they can subdivide by system next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings, Manuel 957496[/snapback] Compared to last years you are right but it's still a fairly number of entries.I only hope that it don’t getting lower the next years. One thing I wonder about is the high number of 2600 entries compared to the c64 games (15 to 9 if I count correctly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 One thing I wonder about is the high number of 2600 entries compared to the c64 games (15 to 9 if I count correctly). 957718[/snapback] Considering the graphics and sound capabilites, the 2600 by far an inferior system to the C64, yet we wrote (and continue to write) superior games. I think we scared them off ... it's kind of like taking your Ferrari to the racetrack and you get beat by an old VW bug... Chances are you won't be back.

Cybergoth Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hi there! Hm... one should analyse the entry numbers, but my feelings are that especially the Spectrum and Oric guys had fewer entries than last year. Also I think a lot of exotics gave up, as there's no ZX81/Intellivision/Apple II/Game Boy/Plus 4/Amstrad entries this year... I'm thrilled to see that the Coleco is going stronger though. Last year Daniel B. entered 2 games and this year there's already entries from 3 different people. It's cool to see it getting more active every year. Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Oric is still doing good, 4 out of 45 entries. The C64 scene seems mostly to consist of demo coders and elite game programmers who concentrate on larger projects. Dunno about ZX Spectrum though. There was a parallel Spectrum only compo (and I'm not referring to the yearly CSSCGC) which was thought to get the attention, but it also had a very low number of entries.
