Namely a port (more of a hack) of the C64 version of the first Novagen game, Encounter, originally released for the Atari 8bit and C64. (Those of you who have played Mercenary - Escape From Targ may have seen an advert for this game) Have fun https://www.dropbox.com/s/ojkxmhsftqkibjj/encounter.prg?dl=1 Posted By Ati on 2021-08-11 12:39:25  Re: Encounter! Super. Posted By Luca on 2021-08-11 12:46:22  Re: Encounter! What a fantastic midsummer present you've kicked in the wild Ulysses777, congrats! Now I absolutely wanna see a comparative video against the official C64 and Atari versions to see which is the faster one, bets opened! Side note: two different versions of Encounter PAL/NTSC were originally released, the Plus/4 conversion include both system clocks! Posted By Csabo on 2021-08-11 13:52:16  Re: Encounter! Awesome! I remember this game, I looked up all of Woakes' games back then. Thank you Ulysses777 Posted By Doug on 2021-08-11 17:45:02  Re: Encounter! Wow. Thank you Ulysses777. I was always in awe of Paul Woaks work. Back then I had so many questions. How did he do it? How is it so damned fast? How are those solid circles drawn so fast? Is it some sprite hack (it was a C64 where I first saw it)? Is it bitmapped? Is it character based? So many questions..... and a lot of time in full reverse hitting the fire button like mad! Brilliant memories. Posted By MIK on 2021-08-11 19:12:42  Re: Encounter! Never seen this before, reminds me of Zagan Warrior. Many thanks Ulysses777 for your Close Encounter of the +4th Kind! Cheers!

WOW! Whoa-WHAT THE... I thought this was an AMIGA-game! I'm pretty sure. I did some welcoming rounds in it, it's AWESOME! Posted By aNdy/Cosine on 2021-08-12 14:32:02  Re: Encounter! Oh! Very cool! I have some holiday coming up next week, so guess what I will be having a game of... Posted By MarkTh​eMorose on 2021-08-18 05:41:05  Re: Encounter! RoePipi: There was indeed an Amiga version of Encounter, called Amiga Encounter. As I recall, it came out after the (perhaps) better looking Backlash, a game in the same style.
