The Matrix Released

The Challenge of the Matrix
A downloadable game

Today I've released The Challenge of the Matrix, my first Amiga game from 1991, written when I was 18 years old. I programmed in BASIC on Dragon 32, then in machine code on the C64 a little (literally typing the list of numbers, I didn't have an assembler). On Amiga, I learned assembler and programmed everything in that.

This is quite a simple puzzle game. I didn't know how to play music, so a mod was played via a separate player on start-up. The game was later remade on Amiga by Andrew Cashmore as Jump Em, and I made a fancy 3D PC version called Yinyang too.

I wrote 20 Amiga games and 2 utilities. I will be releasing them all on this channel.

I've supplied the game in the original ADF file, and a more complex RP9 file for second generator emulators.

Enjoy playing.
