We do love writing about outdated retro video games which have been misplaced by way of the years and for one motive or one other have been uncovered a lot to the delight of the retro group. Immediately’s launch for instance is fairly particular for the Commodore Plus/4 group, as we have discovered that BSZ along with Cody have recovered and launched the Plus/4 sport of ‘Aster’. A multiscreen platform sport in a single disk facet, with graphics taken from The Sacred Armour Of Antiriad for the sprites, and from First Samurai for the background components!
This is the newest from the Plus/4 World web site. “Aster is an elusive sport from ’93, written by KiCHY. References to it in modern diskmags are laborious to search out, and we solely discovered of its existence in 2015, once we added it to our database as a bit of Lacking Software program. Nevertheless, due to BSZ digging round on some outdated disks, this sport has been miraculously discovered! Subsequently it will likely be a “new launch” for many sceners”.
“Within the sport, the introductory textual content paints a grim image: you are up in opposition to none aside from the destroyer of the galaxy. You need to information your loincloth-wearing hero throughout 5 ranges in a fantasy world. Keep away from all enemies, do not study the hearth – it’s sizzling (as the sport helpfully factors out), and contact shiny vases to open doorways and make progress. Will the hero save the galaxy? That is as much as you! (How will he put it aside? That is one thing to ponder, however relaxation assured that reaching the tip of the fifth stage does the job.)”
“This sport is unquestionably a ’93 launch. A lot of the graphics have been transformed from C64, and so was the music. The in-game textual content might have used some proofreading, and the controls are downright troublesome. However, we’re ecstatic to have this sport within the assortment, positively give it a strive! Kudos for KiCHY for this sport (actual programmers ship) and large due to BSZ for locating it!”.
