It looks great, but I found the controls difficult to get to grips with, since it feels like you press a button and it doesn't quite react to it instantly. It's not my keyboard, and this is regardless of certain key-combos. I also couldn't punch the smaller creatures, so as I don't start with any bullets, most of the health bar for my one life is quickly taken by them.
And why is it only one life, anyway? This is a game, not reality.
I do have the original Next, accelerated with pi, but it's been an age since I used it, and I remember hooking it up to a capture card was a ballache, as audio doesn't directly pass down HDMI, so I had to use an older capture device that allows separate audio input.
I'm using that core/firmware within MAME for the tbbblue emulator, but when I run the game, I'm just getting a black border with a white screen, and that's crashing, effectively. Any ideas, please?
Takes me back 40 years, but thankfully, it's safe for work, so Youtube doesn't get antsy. They really should just have an adult section as well, so you can play the original version without them getting all hoity-toity.
Excellent fun! And I've got through most of the games in this collection, but that third level on the moon... GAH! Even if I can get to the Space Invaders bit, there's no bases to hide behind, so one shot from them and the wrong time, and I'm dead. Must've been playing that level for almost 2hrs and not cracking it!
Just posting on here, also. Took me a little time to get the hang of it, but I really enjoyed it. I've also updated the thumbnail to include your awesome cover art
