Fair play to the coder but i think i would have a fit with playing that.

LOL, fair play that somebody put the effort in, but it can't be very playable with such a small gameplay area.

LOL, that's not half bad for a Speccy port :21: I wonder how responsive the controls are on a dead flesh keyboard.

"Dead flesh" keyboard, LOL!

By the way, those look pretty cool, for what they are.

Well that's OK then, at least the 128K models had a better keyboard :)

And a decent sound chip as you can hear from that brilliant music.

I've always liked the AY chip form the Speccy 128/CPC/ST :)
A lot of people rave about the SID chip, but I've heard some impressive shit from the AY chip that surpasses the quality of the SID chip in the C64.

Same as, I prefer the actual sound of the AY myself.

I've heard a lot of AY stuff in my time, was a 520STFM owner for a number of years, then good old Kenz of Binary Zone supplied me with an AY compiliation on CD, later did a 1 man+his Mic broadcast on it and there's been links to AY stuff on here and whilst a lot of stuff has impressed, i've yet to here ANYTHING that comes close to any of the SID EPICS like:

Driller, Tetris, WAR, Knucklebusters, Kentillia, Darkside etc or even likes of:

Last Ninja 1+2, Commando, Platoon, Rambo, Nemesis The warlock, Delta, Savage, Ghouls'n'ghosts etc.

it's like comparing cotton to silk gentlemen, AY just not got it where it counts unlike my mate SID.

And there i was thinking the AY brigade would leap into action, saying you want as epic as SID, get your head around THIS...(with links to follow), guess the AY lacked the lead in it's pencil to go head to head with SID....


In my opinion, of course. :-)

I could have done that but I don't like to derail threads, there is a perfectly good chiptune thread for that (which includes POKEY too)
