+nanochess Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Nano, I know this isn't 'Zaxxon' per se but is the game supposed to follow the format of that game (i.e. asteroid, space battle, asteroid, etc.)? If so, it looks like the game starts with the space battle vs. the asteroid first. Thanks! Check the arcade videos: it is space battle, asteroid, space battle, boss' asteroid and repeats. Also you can play it with MAME if you want to verify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The asteroid battle comes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nanochess Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 The asteroid battle comes first. *scratching my head* I'll check again, or maybe I've in my head the Colecovision version. Edit: Just I've checked and you're right... hmmm... let me think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I don't think it makes much difference in game playability and desirability. And it is "Space Raid", so starting with the space battle isn't a bad thing. On the other hand, purists who are having delusions thinking this is Zaxxon will never let you forget about it.

I've decided to keep the actual scheme, as you say this is Space Raid And just I'm sending the new beta for testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I am -REALLY- excited for this game. Zaxxon was one of my top/favorite games when my uncle owned a video game arcade. This game looks like a good homage to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+nanochess Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well, courtesy of ed1475 we have now a video showing the almost final version of Space Raid https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4yiTUI_hgDw Flicker looks a lot better in real Intellivision, Youtube limits frame rate to 30hz. In some days J-F or Tobie are going to start a thread for reservations 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
