I have a technical question, did you write the game in batari basic or pure assembly language?
The game was written in pure assembly language.

the bin doesn't work right on the harmony cart. Walls and trees kill you and you always flash even without a shield. using Stella these problems don't exist. Still a great game though and I had fun beating it on the harmony cart and on Stella.

I played this for first time this mornning,i like it alot! :cool: ,once you learn to keep ducking from one screen to another to reset baddies to their original starting positions it gets quite addictive.
It reminded me of Berzerk at times which is a good thing :thumbsup:

This is a fantastic game, I discovered it a while ago when it was discussed at Racketboy and not only has it got me interested in Atari (it was before my time and always fell into the 'too retro for me' camp), but I've been playing around with some code for it as well.

Been using batari for now to get used to what the machine can do, but I plan to move to asm after my current game is finished. I really love writting for such a limited platform and having to think so carefully about everything to make it all work. Havnt enjoyed writting code this much for a few years now. Fantastic.

Ed, thanks for making this game for us to enjoy

Any pics of that the cart/label look like?
Here's my idea :P

Nice idea - and what about the small cover?

Seriously, talk to AtariAge about getting a cart produced. You can consider me a buyer if it pulls through :)

Although if that never happens, I'll try to make a paypal donation and play it on my Harmony.
