Star Castle Is there a version of Star Castle on the C16/Plus4 machines? I just saw a YouTube video of an impressive version, a homebrew, for the Atari VCS, so I'm sure it mus be within the capabilities of the 264 range.
It does look impressive. No, there is no C16/Plus version as of yet (and I haven't heard of anyone mentioning this game, or planning on doing a conversion). You're right that the C16/Plus4 could probably "do this".
Re: Star Castle Its just a quick mockup, i just ripped the actual gameplay screen from Mame and converted and quick tuned on Plus4. A conversion is quite possible but i think the whole gfx needs to be remade..
Re: Star Castle Csabo: Yes, that's the video I saw, but thanks also for the link to the 'Williamson version' video. It looks good, if a bit less colourful.
Well, if any talented programmers were wondering what to do for their next game...
It's one game the Atari guys adore... and because it's better than the C64 version! Take a look at Planet Search and the scrolling ground in Skyhawk on C16/Plus4 to get a very small idea if Drop Zone were to run on Plus/4.
