I CHALLENGE THEE : Tempest

[Shaun_B]

If they could do it on an Atari 2600 you can do it on a ZX

I'm still not convinced. At least the Atari can do colour graphics and hardware sprites.

I guess you'd need to use one of the high-resolution modes on the ZX81, but I can imagine that the screen would be too cluttered to allow for any real playability. Who knows really until someone give it a try?

Regards,

Shaun.

It's already been written, but not quite in the way you'd think:

As for a "true" conversion of the game, I think it could be made on an Zeddy.

Are you thinking one of the high-resolution modes...? I can't see it working otherwise, but if anyone can do it then I'm sure you can.

I guess you can tell I'm not really a big fan of this game.

Maybe a a turn-based strategy game? Or play-by-mail??

Haha, dude, the game seems excellent btw! Although I can't find steering except UP and FIRE yet, heh.
