And Now for Something Completely Different

[Captain Cozmos]

Been awhile but the rumors of my death have been exaggerated.

 

Anyway...

I think I mentioned that I am still in a learning process so in order to research 8 Bit "AI" as well as a more practical way to parse sprites I also wanted to challenge myself to see how small I can get this.  2k was my maximum goal.

 

So, aside from any bugs or quirks you may find I have created a 2k (2048 bytes) version of Pong.

1 or 2 players just press 1 or 2 on the player 1 keypad.

 

First player to reach 10 the game will display the winner side then after a pause will reset to the player select menu.

 

Full game with basic sound and the CPU is actually pretty good.

 

This rom is free to anyone who wants it but if you want to sell it then I get a cut.  Then again, who would ever want this for more than 10 minutes.

 

I have tested this in 3 emulators plus a real ADAM and it works fine.

 

It took me around 18 hours of work when opportunity presented itself but at least it is a complete game.

 

Let me know what you think.

It's great ... brings me right back to 1972. The CPU / AI is very good. Great for a quick 5-minute game. Thanks so much for posting your work and the .rom. Using ColEm for DOS it works well.
