pedgarcia Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 That's is nice. I think I will try for one year to see the benefits despite the language barrier. Looks like it is worth it based on this discussion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully, he gave the other members some benefit to being a member, by releasing it through the ABBUC first. If he doesn´t want to release it to the general public himself, we could release it to the public (there is a free download area on the website) when we publish the next magazine, making it an ABBUC exclusive for three months. We don´t want to hide stuff from non-members, but we love to have some exclusive stuff making a membership even more worthwile. Hi Sascha, three months had passed, unfortunately I cannot find the game file in that public ABBUC area - was it published there? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MrFish Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Thanks! I'd played the 5200 version already, but nice to have this gem for the 8-bits now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGHMW Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Thanks Paul!!! Now I have BOTH the 5200 version and the 8-bit version, can you please perhaps convert your terrific version of Yar's Strike you did for us 5200 owners earlier this year, I like yours better than the one Homesoft put up for the 8-bit, yours has all the bugs ironed out of it, as well as that galaxy of moving stars in it, in which I prefer, those are what separates your version from the rest!!! Thanks @playsoft!!! Here is the link to the 5200 version of this great rendition he did of it!!! Yar's Strike - 5200 Version.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we must admit that ZX Spectrum game is not bad either. Monochrome look, but more detailed, gameplay is the same as on Atari version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colorization incl. the brightnesses used, gives the graphics some ambient details, you only find on 16 bit computers. Or 8 bits beyond 1985. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I have just been playing this game and I think that I have been playing it for longer than I have played any other Atari game in a long time. It is very well developed and has that "just another game" factor to it. When I lose a life, I feel like it is my own fault and if only I hadn't hesitated 2 seconds before, I would have been OK. It's pretty difficult, but great fun. I noticed that if you lose a life and then respawn and quickly get the last biscuit, you will get more points than if you survived. Though you have one life less which will ultimately cost you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeep Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 it looks like ABBUC server is down now... i could download xex file from here, but is this just a demo version ? http://a8.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=7944 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darwinmac Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I think most programs published by ABBUC are released to the public after a few months. I think the file on Fandal’s site is a full version. Bob C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foft Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I only just released that you can jump up through the 'portals' as well as drop down. However its a lot fussier, sometimes working, sometimes not. What is the actual rule of when you can go up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
