I got a couple of games in earlier today. First impression is that it's a pretty good Scramble-style shooter. But it is not couch compliant. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Brian! The Zarkstars saga is not a release by (and does not belong to) More Work Games. There was no assistance from MW unless you understand that MW is me. ? Although More Work is my brand, which I idealized, I preferred to launch the game under my own name. In the future I believe I will release other games for MW, but the saga does not belong to the brand. I hope you understand my English and that the text is clear. ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwieland Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I got my copy today and put together a quick video for everyone who wanted to see the gameplay. It's mostly me dying over and over again. ? It's pretty tough right out of the gate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one real knock on this game so far is it really needs a way to restart a game other than the reset and select switches. My first game lasted about 12 seconds, which was still plenty of time for the cat to settle into my lap and fall asleep. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_type2600 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Thanks for posting the video. Really original and nice colors scheme, and the parallax scrolling is cool, and smart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using a fairly long RF cable to leave the console on the couch (along with the cat, in your case). ? I think I'll soon have the Overlays from all the Saga games for us to put on the Atari panel. All games use console Switchs in some way, so the idea is to have the console around. On Zarkstars I, you can trigger Rapid Fire on the Color/B-W Switch and Continue on the Select Switch. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed watching my younger brother play the Master System version in the 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSW3ET Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 Well, I made a short video to show you all how to play Zarkstars I.
