I like the slow animation much better. The fast animation is a little distracting to me.

 

Excellant game !

Thanks! I like the slower animation better as well, the faster one looks a bit spastic.

 

I played a few rounds last night with the new 5-lives setting and got further along than before. I noticed a couple screen rolls in later rooms that were chock-full of robots. Currently most of the game logic is running in OverScan, while Vertical Blank is used to prep the datastreams for the DPC+ datafetchers. I'll have to turn on my time-remaining display (done by setting OPTIMIZE = 1 in the 6507 code) to see how the time's looking so I can plan some reshuffling of the game logic.

I have to agree with Dave, slower is the way to go. Does the speech not work anymore?

Speech works here.
