If you meant Ville, ZSB was just a bonus game. I don't think he ever had any plans to make it any bigger than it was/how it ended up.

Someone should extract the game from the source code. Thrust is still kind of difficult.

Its easy to mod the sourcecode, there is an line that's commented out , so delete the first ; of that line and run the batch file that comes with the source and you can make a bin to play it. Though when you die it returns to Thrust... there might be another line to fix that.. it would be easy to fix anyway as the code is so clearly written ;jsr Zzap_Start ;uncomment while debugging bonusgame |

I wanted to do a conversion of kamikazi/astro invader but decided there was too much to draw onscreen. Fun (if frustrating) game.

There has been a beta for that game. It's pretty good but will probably never be completed. My next project is a dual stick controller just for that game.

^Any excuse to mess around with tools/make new hardware, eh? |

Two words: Mad Planets Another word: Tron Two more: Ikari Warriors Also: Victory Road Heavy Barrel Gondomania Time Soldiers Xybots Any way of slapping an interface on these bad boys with some buttons? Apparently there's also a Happs equivalent: na.suzohapp.com/all_catalogs/joysticks/50-5618-00 |

My next project is a dual stick controller just for that game. How will this work? (What is the input mapping?) Two joysticks in a single housing plugged into both controller ports? Or the second joystick mapped to the buttons? There aren't a lot of existing games that could be modified to support this since most of the originals use Asteroids style controls. Maybe Berzerk? I remember a Robotron clone in the works back in the day but Google seems to suggest it's DOA. Any other candidates I'm not thinking of? |
