Are you anxious to know what my next 1K Hires game will be?

My version of "Westbank" with sideway scrolling in two directions!
With some 'minor' 1K adjustments offcourse and some changes in the gameplay!

Like that, with :
villain with gun, short guy with hats, girl (no citizin with money), closed (saloon) doors.
sideway scrolling.

But if this IS a favourite you can explain some gameplay to me.
You can stay a long time before 3 doors before going to next. Isn't there a timing or so in which you need to clear all doors?

My version of "Westbank"

Hm, it could be interesting indeed.
Unexpanded ZX81 tends to have arcade games after all, because of its RAM (1K isn't too friendly to other genres ).
Anyway - a cool idea.

Yes, there's a timer bar. You need to have deposits from every door before the timer runs out. You can see when the next door has a customer - an indicator appears over the door's number. If there is a long period without a door opening then that is an error in the conversion of the game.

There's a good clear explanation of the gameplay mechanics here

The video is always slower than the actual game and the display was still delayed or it would be too fast.

Right now the actual door is shown (in the wip only a precoded door). Next thing to do is actual gameplay.
Must however fit in 1K.

Looking good!

Now added
correct shifting and correct door shown indicator
Also added display of characters when not shifting.

To do: timing for the display , score, timeout and check all doors used.
