Night Knight for the A8

[Paul Westphal]

Thanks for all the hard work on this one!

Perfect conversion, lovely done. It's amazing how close it comes to the original despite to the different hardware, especially when it comes to sprites/player missiles. I like the colours of the gamefield which are even better than on MSX.
Very catchy tune like the original and nicely done stereo effects.

 

What I didn't figure out was how password(s) can be used?

When you press SPACE to pause a level, the game will show the password for this level.

 

To go back to a level, press SELECT on the title screen and enter your password.

It's a really nice game with great music and that "just one more try" factor. Thanks!

This seems an odd way of doing it to me. It'd make more sense to show the password of the level when your game ends, who is thinking about pressing space and writing down the password when in the middle of playing? I'm curious what the original does. It's a great game though.

Played it yesterday via emulation on a real CRT, simply wonderful! Thanks to those great developers, now we can safely say that the A8 platform has nothing short compared to other platforms!
