Quick Draw Practice on the Jupiter Ace

Quick Draw (Practice) for the Jupiter Ace.

The player has control of a gun-stinger which can be made to move upwards and downwards whilst also moving his firing arm and firing his gun.

The player has to try to kill the computer's gun-slinger without being shot or running out of bullets - either will result in death.

This game was recovered from a 25 year old cassette tape by the author.

can this really be done with only 1k ram ???

[JupiterAceArchive]

no, the game is 14228 bytes so you will need a 16K rampack.

This looks a little bit like the Atari 2600 game "Outlaw", but with some...interesting, notable differences.

I'm quite amazed by the quality of these games. I always thought the Ace was more or less on par with the ZX81, but this looks almost like early Spectrum games.
