The famous OxF (known from "Numen" demo and other great Atari stuff) and me published a game called "Vector Reloaded":

Isn't this Blaster?

Looks great. I'll have to try this out tomorrow.

[Rybags]

Gets pretty busy onscreen there, lots of moving objects.

Those asteroids look a bit familiar - did they leak in from the 2600 game?

Looks just like Blaster to me too - I couldn't read the story behind the game.

I agree, And it looks awesome....When I saw it I instantly thought of a 3d Robotron! BONUS!
Love this on a cart.

that's Blaster? but good to see Fox doing some stuff again...

[emkay]

So it is "Blaster" with several optimisations?

[Shannon]

Looks like "Blaster" to me.. speed doesn't appear to be much different. But who knows.

Similar to "Blaster"? No way

Guys, do you remember what day is today?

D'Oh! I didn't realise because I read this "yesterday" and even though technically it was April 1st, since I hadn't slept yet my brain was still on March 31st!

The unconscious part of my mind already warned me:

- Why is it 0xF this time, instead of Fox?
- Why the hell use this name "vector reloaded"; it's more like a downgrade

He is using nick 0xF for quite a long time now, maybe longer than 1-2 years IMHO.

I was twisted about it. It didn't make any sense to me, and I wondered about the worse quality ... at least it looked like some "optimisation project" for what purpose ever ...

A good April's Fool Joke could have been to show some "found register to have hires PM graphics" and show some AMIGA game with POKEY sounds ... or else.

They already done this thing some Months ago at AtariOnline with that Fox and then it was 640 with 1/4 cycle white moving Snow.
I believe and didn't even saw that the Hi-resol. was even more and was 640pixels, that's why the 1/4cycle.
And yes, it is A8 but with VBXE2.

Why they show this two or three Months ago? That was a very good one for Today?


I had lots of ideas but sadly this week was out out of time, out of question!...
Maybe next year I'll fool you with something!...

I optimized my nickname in 2002.

So, you learned to code in C in that year?

[fox]

That year I learned Perl.
