It feels like it was only just yesterday that we announced on IRN, the release of 'Empire Strikes Back' for the Commodore 64: a fan version of the original Parker Brothers game "Empire Strikes Back", which appeared on the Atari 2600 and the Intellivison way back in 1982. Well if you have a Plus/4 and want to experience the game for yourselves, make sure to check out the latest TCFS, Unreal and Csabo's Commodore Plus/4 conversion which has been released today.
Here is what the Plus/4 World Facebook page says about the release "Undergoing graphic compromises, managing software sprites, reducing the color clash at its minimum, fighting against wicked bugs, in the very end Sasvári Tamás, our monumental TCFS Maestro, has ported Megastyle's The Empire Strikes Back on Plus/4! After a long run from far, by converting the old classic games, he has reached the contemporary game scene, converting a game released one year ago, and closing his circle of successes! And not to mention the fantastic contribution from Csabo of Legion Of Doom, spending here all his great skills into what we can easily define his own masterpiece!"

ReplyDeleteFor those who complained about the ability to hover in the C64 version: this is not possible here (the ship is constantly moving). However, scrolling away from the enemy is different, and you can now get hurt if you fly into an enemy. Really, really nice!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work, well done to the team!
ReplyDeleteReally nice work. Love to see games for the Plus4 getting created...
