Atari 8 Bit
AMC | Gridrunner | ||
---|---|---|---|
Defender-esque game with giant camels. I was reworking this for the Konix Multi System, but we all know what happened to that thing :-] | One of my best-known games, originally Centipede-inspired but particularly in later incarnations very much evolved into its own unique style. | ||
Hover Bovver | |||
Lawnmowing game which is more fun than it sounds. Originally designed with my dad. |
Commodore Vic 20
Abductor | Andes Attack | ||
---|---|---|---|
Fairly mundane bottom-shooter in which the enemies swooped down to abduct your Humanoids. Sort of Defender meets Galaxian. | An early effort of a Defender clone. | ||
Blitzkrieg | Deflex | ||
A joke that got out of hand... ;) | Dexterity game in which the player deflects a ball using angled deflectors in order to hit a target. Simple but fun. | ||
Gridrunner | Hellgate | ||
One of my best-known games, originally Centipede-inspired but particularly in later incarnations very much evolved into its own unique style. | Insanely intense shooter in which the player controls 4 guns firing into a central arena. | ||
Laserzone | Matrix | ||
Shooter in which the player controls two guns on orthogonal axes. Not too baad. | Sequel to Gridrunner. More levels and a few extra twists. | ||
Meta-Llamas | Rox III | ||
Possibly the most stupidly-named game of all time. Actually not a baad little shooter with an innovative control method which allowed the player to deflect shots in flight by manipulating a force field. | Coded one Christmas on the Vic just for laughs, it actuallywasn't too bad of a game in a clunky written-in-BASIC stylee. | ||
Traxx | |||
Somewhat control-impaired Amidar-inspired grid-painting game with *incredibly* annoying tune that won't shut up and drives you absolutely insane. |
Commodore C16
Hellgate | Laserzone | ||
---|---|---|---|
Insanely intense shooter in which the player controls 4 guns firing into a central arena. | Shooter in which the player controls two guns on orthogonal axes. Not too baad. | ||
Matrix | Voidrunner | ||
Sequel to Gridrunner. More levels and a few extra twists. | Further sequel to Gridrunner/Matrix. |
Commodore 64
Ancipital | Attack of the Mutant Camels | ||
---|---|---|---|
Unusual puzzle/platform/shooter featuring an anthropomorphic goat character that could walk on the walls and ceiling as well as the floor. Not a bad game, and fondly remembered. | Defender-esque game with giant camels. I was reworking this for the Konix Multi System, but we all know what happened to that thing :-]. | ||
Batalyx | Gridrunner | ||
Unusual game in which player could jump at will between various sub-games all of which got more difficult as time went on, so the player needed to tackle those games he found most difficult early in the game to have a chance of completing it all. | One of my best-known games, originally Centipede-inspired but particularly in later incarnations very much evolved into its own unique style. | ||
Hellgate | Hover Bovver | ||
Insanely intense shooter in which the player controls 4 guns firing into a central arena. | Lawnmowing game which is more fun than it sounds. | ||
Iridis Alpha | Laserzone | ||
Complex scrolly shooter involving twin planet surfaces that scrolled in opposite directions, a main character that could transform between walking and flying modes, and warp gates that allowed access to higher game levels as the player progressed. | Shooter in which the player controls two guns on orthogonal axes. Not too baad. | ||
Mama Llama | RMC | ||
Possibly over-ambitious game where you had to guide a family of llamas through 100 levels whilst using an accompanying droid thingie to protect them from various enemies. | Possibly one of the most menorable Llamasoft games. Giant camel blasting through waves of somewhat surreal enemies. |
Sinclair Spectrum
City Bomb | Gridrunner | ||
---|---|---|---|
Quick lash-up of Blitzkrieg for the Speccy. Nothing special at all. | One of my best-known games, originally Centipede-inspired but particularly in later incarnations very much evolved into its own unique style. | ||
Headbangers Heaven | Laserzone | ||
Based on an old PET game I'd seen, except that in my version it paid to get hit on the head by the falling hammers and then take an aspirin. | Shooter in which the player controls two guns on orthogonal axes. Not too baad. | ||
Matrix | Meta-Llamas | ||
Sequel to Gridrunner. More levels and extra twists. | Possibly the most stupidly-named game of all time. Actually not a baad little shooter with an innovative control method which allowed the player to deflect shots in flight by manipulating a force field. | ||
Rox III | Super Deflex | ||
Coded one Christmas on the Vic just for laughs, it actually wasn't too bad of a game in a clunky written-in-BASIC stylee. | Update to the original Deflex | ||
Trax | Voidrunner | ||
Further sequel Gridrunner/Matrix |
