Planet X1 documentary

Man, back in the day...Like 1981...You would have made a mint if you advertised this game in Compute's Gazette. Impressive work. How much work would it take to make bots and tanks move in smoother steps rather than 8x8?

@Tapewormz - That would be pretty hard on the VIC-20. Not impossible, though.

[Tapewormz]

@adric22 Well, grats on your project. I just started learning assembly, and I'm applying it to a c64 emulator until my package arrives. It's something I wanted to do way back in the day, but I was only 10 and couldn't afford the books, or the assembler at the time.

Wow, that's neat. I wanna look up flash attack now and I kinda want to write my own verison of this in Curses.

[RJLeffmann]

Looks great. I would've loved this way back when I had my VIC 20.

[davide1275]

Great! very nice game!

fantastic job , i could listen to you all day. vic20 was my first computer but i couldn't afford the tape recorder for a long time, so i had to type in games from magazines then lose them when i turned it off, learnt basic that way. myriad was my favorite games and i loved messing about with pokes and little programmes even wrote a 3d graphic adventure in basic :)

[marquis0r]

did you use cross-development tools on pc/mac?

[adric22]

Yes, I used the Acme compiler and VICE.

Very cool. I'll add a link for you on some of the C= boards.

Wow. I am back in my friends basement in 1983. The VIC-20 was cool, but he soon replaced it with the 64 which offered Summer Games and Castle Wolfenstein. I didn't play vids after that until the Nintendo 64.

I have a TI99-4A sitting in my basement.

Ha! Thanks for the memories!

[psychoclown420]

Awesome, again, you must have a lot of spare time

[aramsey2000]

fantastic

[agamemnon18]

Very nice! Can you tell when this game will presumably be finished?

[macbookfan33]

looks cool... but does it work on a real system and if then how?

[adric22]

Don't know.. I haven't pulled my real VIC-20 out of the attic yet to try it.

[KilrPilr]

Nice David! Looks like a cool game. Thanks for creating and sharing this.

[PedroLambrini]

Looking good dude! I can't wait to sit down and play this. :)
