Hi Edwin, really glad you're enjoying this! :) I decided to lose the power LED as it was a bit distracting, and I didn't think it looked that good. It seems a bit tidier without it to me. I forgot to mention that if you press 'E' you can change the colour palette, of which there's four to choose

Hi, thanks for trying it out! It's a bit limited, but it was a good way to have a go at this type of game without having to do proper graphics :) I should have made the combat system differently, like a final fantasy style RPG maybe, but if you persevere with it there is an adventure in there som

I think you're being ignored by the mailing list because of the suspicion that you may be using an illegal copy of this game. Some people don't have a problem with copying a 20+ year old game for a dead system. Some do. I wish I could help, I will be a Trinity owner at some point and will be try

Apologies for bumping the thread but I thought I'd take the opportunity while I have the net! I have realised that I'm wasting cpu time in Epic Fail by using masks when the sprites are all the same single image! I think I can shave a lot of time, and some memory, by taking the masks out of the sp

What a great game! The presentation is outstanding, you really have a nice style graphically! I like the infinite lives/quick restart as it makes for a very compulsive, "this time I'll do it" kind of feeling.. The fact you did this in a month makes you some kind of coding legend! :) Rob.
