This is a very good game, but I seem to get caught in the scenery a bit and need to reset the emulator. I'm using Fuse on Mac.

More Snake games please. The editor loves them.

Like Thrust but feels more like an arcade game. Good work.

"I never knew there was so much in it..."

It was quite a bit of work; I managed just over 20 reviews, though Mpk wins with 25 reviews *and* all of the editing, layout, proofing etc...

I seem to be unable to enter the castle.

Very good, I like it!

I agree, it starts out gentle enough but then it gets difficult quickly.

Ah, this is a great reminder of those lovely type ins. Good work.

:-O

I guess the first game just wasn't difficult enough?

Pretty good, I like it.

I like it. A simple shooter that would be a premium listing in Sinclair User or Computer and Video Games magazines

The review will feature all three games in one review.

Just playing through, it will be reviewed for BreakSpace issue 3 (just missed the cut for issue 2).

Thanks for letting me in.

Excellent little title, many thanks

This issue takes me back to the days of the fanzines. Good work. I suggest adding a "Name your own price" for the second issue; whilst I appreciate that you're not looking to make money from it, or can't work out a fair way to split the few quid that you'd get from it, I'd have chucked you a few quid for the issue. As a former writer (well, semi-retired really) I appreciate how little it pays, but seeing your own words even in a fanzine is a reward in itself.

I just noticed that the game is in TZX format; for maximum compatibility, is it possible to convert it to a .P file?

This is a very good ten-liner. I have reworked the instructions of the listing to save some more bytes. This is not essential and just for fun.

Could you please publish the source to this? Or talk through the source on your YouTube channel?

This is a pretty sweet game, with some love shown to the much revered Bomb Jack.

Very good, it'd make a nice port to the VIC-20 and C16 too, if you develop for those machines.

Almost never lose by POKE 650, 128 before running; this allows repeat keys on the Commodore C64.

Excellent version, thanks.

Any tips for infy lives? I only managed to mow 5 lawns before being blown up :-( All that for a Corned Beef Sandwich.

You could load it into Spectaculator or Fuse (I think) and re-save the snapshot as .z80 or .sna

This is one of my favourite Boulder Dash inspired games. Great fun, and extremely playable.

An excellent game. I remember this fondly when I was a writer for Micro Mart magazine

Amazing. Thanks for the great Commodore PET games.

This is very likely a feat never to be surpassed. This is the very best game on the Sinclair ZX81. Truly playable and very fun, a great take on a classic game.

Great game!

A good conversion, thanks.

Looks really amazing. Looking forward to this game as I'm a fan of scrolling shooters.

Could you add a 'free download or name your own price' option please so I can support you a bit more than just downloading?

You may play this game with up to four human players on THEC64 with the latest firmware, v1.6.1.

If you want four players on THEC64 Mini, ensure that you are using a good power supply at 2.5amps or more as you will need to supply a USB hub extension for the extra joysticks.

Could you make a WHDLoad version of this game? If so, it should be compatible with the upcoming THEA500 Mini

You can now play this game with a mouse on THEC64/THEC64 Mini and THEVIC20. Firmware v1.6.1 reads most or all USB mouses and trackballs as a 1351. The following CJM file should work:

T:Advanced Space Battle
A:More.Gore
X:64,pal,driveicon,fullheight
J:1M:
J:2*:JU,JD,JL,JR,JF,JF,,,,,,,,,

Select CG type of joystick adapter when prompted by Bomb Mania, and also in this case select PAL, or chance the X parameter to NTSC if this fits your THEC64 better
