Truly amazing game! I thoroughly enjoyed it and spent many hours playing together with my son. Well done guys! Any plans for further advancements? (e.g missions to Venus, Mars etc?)
Hi dim zed! Thanks a lot, I am so glad you both enjoyed the game. Further enhancements would require putting my hands back into the source code, and honestly I do not feel like retouching it very much. It would be better to create a new game from scratch, like a sort of stand-alone expansion.
Besides, there is another title I started working at until about a year ago, La Pucelle, but due to lack of time, more pressing matters to cope with etc. I kept it "frozen", waiting for better times. That's life, alas :-/ Should you wish to know more, you can read the preview article and watch a demo video on this page:
An excellent game, it basically feels like a 80ies version of Buzz Aldrin's Space Program Manager. Very unique and clever and a masterpiece of programming. It has a lasting place in my collection. Can't wait for your next projects!
Hi Athanasius, thank you so much for appreciating the collection. In fact it was the attempt to bring the Liftoff! board game to the Spectrum, looking at BARIS - which was made by the same author, by the way - as an inspiration. I am glad that it was so well received. I hope that the sources will inspire other authors to create other games of this kind, we need more of them!
