3D Monster Maze - With Less Intro :)

Post by sirmorris »

Since Yerz has expressed a strong opinion about the frustratingly long intro on 3D Monster Maze I have accepted the challenge and done a little hacking.

Attached is the result - It's 3D Monster Maze, except with an intro that lasts only 4 seconds.

Surprisingly this program is protected in a few places. Mainly there are PEEKS and POKES to check the copyright messages but there is also something lurking in the machine code which is linked to the size of the program. If you edit too much ... crash!

Removing the delay loop from the intro meant having to add extra code at the end of the program to pad it out :)
