ComputerSpaceFan Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hey Vectrex Roli! I am loving your channel and your latest video had me chuckling away as always. I am intrigued by the Firefox, never heard of it before. The game looks sweet but I don't understand Level 2. What are the weird red things flying toward your spaceship? Blocks to be avoided? I don't get it. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to look for one of these machines, it looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotwo Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) The thing with these kinds of segmented displays is that they tended to have large well defined images instead of smaller parts/ patterns. So for some games it would require them to re-use the patterns in creative ways. It's obvious that the red patterns are the explosion frames for the ships, but I'm not quite sure either what kind of in-game imagery they're supposed to portray on the second level. I would imagine it's something like a low flying sequence where you're trying to avoid some forms of rock formations. For some reason I always keep comming back to a game that keeps comming back in Ashens' Popstation reviews, which is a fighting game where the frames of animation for the arms and legs are re-used as projectiles.

Thanks, well I guess what you mean should be "asteroids" and as robotwo already said they had to re-use what was there. I think it must have been pretty hard to design a multi level game with one single display like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
