palmheads Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Was looking at potential game port ideas that could fit into the 4K mini memory (ie like the original Gridrunner for the Vic 20 - 3.5k). Lots of people rave about Doubleback for the Coco. Its about 4k (6809), looks like a simple game with surprising depth. Anyone have any memories of playing it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Never played it (we never expanded our CoCo3 past the connection to the TV) but it does look fun and challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 It's a fun game, but definitely easier to play with analog joysticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chue Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Looks cool, it even has an Omega reference! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I think the docs refer to those as horseshoes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Very original for sure. I think the trickiest part will be to come up with a compact and efficient routine to check for objects inside a closed loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Looks like something that might be fun with a Koala pad or Super Sketch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
