NE146 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Nice.. damn I should've played. I could get to the point on the olives (final enemies) where all but one would just swoop down at once. Now I wonder how close this version is to the arcade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian R. Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 LOL - I thought he was saying it would be overkill to make another shooter for the 7800. I was saying to myself that the 7800 doesn't really have *that* many space shooter games, does it? Thanks guys. Eduardo's Moon Cresta will be identical to the arcade so I see no reason to continue with this one and duplicate efforts when I can be working on another project. Thanks, guys for the support and kind words. Bob Ain't got a Coleco, don't want a Coleco. Do have a 7800. Do want 7800 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I tried it in MAME some time back and the only difference I could tell was the music was pitched differently (prolly due to TIA). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacManPlus Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 ...so I just finished watching the video posted. I never even looked at the date, being that ZPH usually does these things on Friday, I incorrectly assumed that the show was Friday, not Tuesday. Thanks for the compliments, guys! I know that game is difficult, but I wanted to get it as close to the arcade as I could. Anyway, thanks again! Bob 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you nailed it, Bob. Even the most seasoned shooter players can become humbled by Moon Cresta quite quickly. The Arcade original is very challenging, and your port is a mirror image. Thankfully, there is an EASY setting.. which is easier than the Arcade original, though still a decent challenge. Anyone good enough to tackle HARD respectfully, though? I don't last very long with that setting.. lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you nailed it, Bob. Sure did! That’s what I love about Bob’s ports, they are as close to the arcade as possible. The coin-op used to take my quarters, but I still loved playing it and this port takes me back to those days. Played a few games earlier tonight. My best score was just over 18k on EASY. ? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
