Does anyone know of any Robotron clones or similar games for the Amiga? If a good version of this game is available, I want it. If not, then I plan to write one. -brett |Brett Coon | uunet!smosjc!brett | |S-MOS Systems, Inc. | "You like 'em, anchovies?" | |San Jose, CA | -Runaway Train |

oh, boy! If you could write one that would be great! I haven't ever seen one for the amiga but had one on my 64 that was too hard simply because you could only fire in the direction that you were walking... kinda took away the fact that it was robotron. make it! make it! but change some things so that it would sell! hehehe

As a start to cloning 'robotron' you might want to look at the graphics for 'marketroid' on of the BADGE demos (on some fish disk). It has bitmaps drawn of all (?) of the robotron characters (including some of the special people from amiga (rj, dale, etc.) /* disclaimer -- ** (1) if you think that cloning games is wrong, don't play or write ** cloned games. ** (2) don't flame me, I'm a programmer, I'm not supposed to ** be able to spell. */ --Mike Cuddy "...He's a UNIX hack and he's okay, he works all night and he sleeps all day..."

Especially for Amiga!!! I would like to see a faithful reproduction of this anarchial game, including that colorful "zoom" to the next wave, and with those nasty cruise missiles! I also would like to see some clever extensions to it also (say..."Do you want to play the classical or the extended one"? and one would respond with appropriate code) Thanx for any effort, messages, etc. The Blue Wizard (John Rogers) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // Only Amiga | The Blue Wizard (John Rogers) // gives you a | #include <std.disclaimers> \\ // creative edge | cat flames >/dev/null \X/ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
