Re: Hi

I know when I wrote it, it was QA, VB. But I also remember having very, very spirited arguments with Rodger on the keys. I don't remember who won. QA/VB still works on the one up on the emulator now, so perhaps I won but using the peek only approach let him find keys he liked. The flaming, frothing ...

Re: Hi

Yep, Interceptor was mine too. Wanted to clone Missile Command, but the lack of raster graphics and a trackball (and CPU power) required a little bit of imagination. So I combined Asteroids and Missile Command. Took me a while to remember the keys (Left Shift, Z for Rotate, / for Fire, Right Shift f...

Re: Hi

FOUND IT. It was in the ML Load folder. The controls are actually QA, VB, QA or up/down, VB for left right. I must have done peek only, which is why other keys worked.

I also see interceptor in there. Gonna go load it and see if it's mine. COLOR ME EXCITED

Re: Hi

So I must be looking at the wrong WinOSI emulator, it does not have Monster maze in any of the images. If you know which one, please direct me to the link. Thanks! Also, if you know of any of my other games....

Re: Hi

Since I was only 14 years old when I wrote monster maze, I really don't remember making a C2/C4 version. If I recall, C2/C4 had a different number of bytes per line? (32 vs 64) I have foggy memories of doing some port or something, but it is possible I sent Rodger or Retelle the source and they port...

Re: Hi

A and Z were not reversed for me. I wonder if the emulator is the issue, or does this happen on all emulators? I think I did the poke/peek approach versus just a peek for MM. Too bad I don't have the source anymore :) Can we re-map the keys in the emulator to compensate? Thanks for the compliments! ...

Hi

Hi all, Dave Edson here. I wrote a bunch of games for Aardvark for the C1P/SuperBoard II back in the days. Stuff like Space Invasion, Kamikaze, Collide, Thief, Monster Maze. Wrote a game or two for Pretzelland as well. I found plenty of emulators for the C1P, but no images of any of my games. If any...
