| The Empire Strikes Back! | Posted by Csabo on 2023-09-25 |
Last year, some of you may have seen a C64 Star Wars game by the group Megastyle, which is a remake of an old Atari 2600 game. It's one of those games where the die-hard Plus/4 fan just sighs; "oh well, we don't really have shooters like this, there's just too many sprites".
But one man, he stands tall on a mountain top, wind blowing in his hair, staring off to the sunset, and he says... Well, he says "No. This shall be done". His mind is already hard at work, thinking about how to pull of the impossible, and display software sprites on top of parallax scrolling. And then suddenly he's in front of a computer, and his fingers are typing faster than the eye can see, the heavenly choir reaches its crescendo, and everything turns white... (Sorry about that nerdgasm, where was I?) Oh yeah, that man is TCFS.
If you're up for some Star Wars themed shooting, fire up that old Plus/4 (or an emulator) and watch in amazement as The Empire Strikes Back! |
