Outsatnding game ! Can you port this for Atari 8 bits ? I hope so.

AJ Layden2 years ago

Thanks! I don't know much about the workings of the Atari 8-bit family so I can't port it myself at the moment. Same processor though so it would be fairly straightforward. The hard bit would be improving it to make use of the extra features the Atari hardware has. Maybe one day.

The more people developing for the wonderful Vic 20 the better. Great game, mate. Well done.

What dev system did you use to program it?

AJ Layden2 years ago

Thanks! I used CBM prg Studio for development. Very nice to use.

Xerra2 years ago

CBM Prg studio is great for development at assembler level for Commodore machines. If you ever want to try doing it in a bit more user-friendly language then perhaps have a look at TRSE. It's fantastic for working on Vic or C64 games :)
