Hi, great job! However, I have some doubts: many of us would like to showcase this gem of a game at fairs and events dedicated to retrocomputing, so why not release this version with an attract mode that would help us preserve CRT monitors? Even just having the image cycle between the main title and the credits page would be enough. 

Additionally, I find anachronistic that the game still uses the keyboard to start. I understand that you've tried to be as faithful to the original as possible, but by keeping that cumbersome aspect, you're not really doing justice to the original arcade title. Nevertheless, you've done an excellent job. Well done!

Hi!

Thanks a lot for your kind words and great suggestions! 😊

We’ll definitely consider adding an attract mode in a future update. The main challenge is technical — we have to stick closely to the game’s original structure, and deeper changes require a full reverse engineering, plus there’s very little free memory left, if at all.

Same goes for the keyboard start: we agree it would feel more natural on joystick, let’s see what happens in v1.1!

Thanks again for the support!

Crystalct from lemon64 has modiefied the original BB (and many others) to start with fire button, perhaps he can help? https://github.com/crystalct/5plusbuttonsJoystick
