Retrospect Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 CATTLE8.BIN < Play on emulator or burn on to EPROM for real machinesCATTLEG.BIN < Play on emulator or for use on FINALGROM on real machinesCATTLE-E,CATTLE-FCATTLE-G < - Editor Assembler , load with option 5CATTLE-X < Load with Extended Basic CATTLE BATTLE! Ya'll gonna have a rootin' tootin' good time with this one folks. You've got a cattle ranch to look after, and as if that ain't hard 'nuff these pesky varmint Aliens keep invading to try and eat your darn cows! How long can you defend them for? Each round has a timer counting down to zero ... then it's the Cattle Bonus stage, any cows remaining gets you a bonus. When that's done, you're back on the ranch but you'll have to survive a second longer each time! Shoot the Aliens to stop them eating your cows .. but watch 'em 'cos they're after YOU too! Mind you don't shoot your own cows, if all cows are dead it's game over. Music by @OLD CS1 and might I say what a fantastic tune it is. js99er-20230315175906.webm 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The theme song, "My Old Kentucky Home," has a deceptively slow pace. The gameplay is fast and furious fun, but not completely out of control. Just try not to shoot Ol' Bessie! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
