ZX81 Berzerk Game
Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2018 2:02 am
I've got the ZX81 Berzerk clone to the point where I think it's fit to give you all a Beta version of a new game to play just in time for Christmas. I'm a day ahead of most of you here in New Zealand. For me Christmas is tomorrow.
I any case, here is the first version of ZX81 Berzerk. There are still a few bugs to iron out. Let me know what you think and any feedback to improve it. One thing I haven't put in is that the robots do not move like they did in the arcade game. I'm thinking that would cause speed issues and wouldn't do much for the game in any case. Also robots cannot shoot on diagonals. However, you do get the usual strategies of tricking robots into shooting each other or getting Evil Otto to destroy them.
The difficulty levels also don't do anything. I may just remove that option altogether. There are also only four mazes. Should I put in some more?
The main questions here are the control system with the hold position and fire option and timing. Do you like the controls and does Evil Otto appear too soon or late?
