Starfight, an old game but now with impressive sound effects (ZonX)

Post by kmurta »

Starfight is an excellent game but I've always felt the lack of sound effects, so I decided to fill that gap myself. The result is there, and now also with ZXpand joystick support. Have fun!

That just ain't nat'ural hearing sound out of a zeddy!

I loaded up in EightyOne 1.25 and got the audio but no video. Blank screen (game logic seems to be running though). What settings do I need? I've got zxpand selected and xon sound (picked at random but it works)

It only seems to work with WRX implemented and although it still plays, the menu screen is corrupted and and the score line is also slightly corrupted once started when using Eighty One v1.23.

Wow, ok picked the WRX and it worked fine on EightOne 1.25 - barring a brief hiccup in the intro music

Nice! - doesn't save high score though! I did 33k on first try, but I'm not very patient lol
