Remember when we told you that Ultimate Play the Game's famous classic Atic Atac, was not only being remade for the PC but it was also being remade for the ZX Spectrum Next? Well there's great news this week, as we've been following their twitter throughout and they have not only shared in game footage of working clocks, but a cool trap door effect in which your poor hero falls from a great height and still survives!
Back on the game play with the finished trapdoor effect, wonderfully demonstrated by our chivalrous new hero (in slow mo too!) @hot_piping #aticatac #zxspectrum #gamedev #monogame #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/nZj5FGWDVV— Richard Jordan (@EricRetro) December 1, 2018
So, I said to Craig, I need a clock. Not entirely sure what he was on when he imagined what the clock should look like!! Here's a WIP... @hot_piping #aticatac #zxspectrum #gamedev #monogame #screenshotsaturday #melkhiorsmansion pic.twitter.com/8WwN9rBMRi— Richard Jordan (@EricRetro) December 15, 2018
Ultimate Play the Game released so many incredible titles in the 80's, games such as Knightlore, Jetpac, Sabre Wulf and Gunfright to name but a few. But this remake of Atic Atac, which is a remake of a game originally released in 83, is looking very special indeeed! It features an isometric engine by Retrospec remake game developer Richard Jordan (Klass of 99/Zub), glorious remade graphics by Craig Stevenson with full backing by Rare studio, who still owns the right to the franchise, and full porting to the ZX Spectrum NEXT by Kev Brady!
Release Date : TBA
