RetroGaming Shorts Part 060 - On the Tiles

On the Tiles 1987 (Commodore 64)

I really love the pixel art and animation here, especially the cat. The dancing mouse and demonic cat face add something also.

The backgrounds also look really nice, and are a bit of a puzzle how they did it if you're familiar with C64 graphics modes. Despite the high resolution look, it's actually using multi-color mode with dark grey background and blue/yellow for the multi-colors. All tiles with high resolution have dark grey as one of the colors, and the other color is always one of the restricted MC colors 0-7 (for example, black or white). The lower resolution of the tiles with blue/yellow is disguised with clever pixel art.

RetroGaming Shorts Part 059 - Adrenalin

Adrenalin 1991 (Commodore 64)

An obscure little shooter with a potentially interesting game mechanic idea - you have a limited number of bullets, but each bullet can go through any number of enemies.

So, the idea is to try and figure out where/when to aim in order to take out as many of them as possible with the limited number of bullets.

RetroGaming Shorts Part 058 - Chomper Man

Chomper Man 1983 (Commodore 64)

This Pac Man clone looks inspired by another Pac Man clone, Munch Man for the TI-99/4A. It uses the same small 8x8 pixel sprites that made Munch Man suitable for the TI video chip, even though C64 sprites are much larger.

The maze design also feels like Munch Man. I really like how it makes the maze feel a lot bigger, although the original Pac Man actually has small 8x8 hit detection boxes so the feeling is actually illusory. Nevertheless, I really like the look and feel of the small sprites.

RetroGaming Shorts Part 054 - Rootin Tootin

Rootin Tootin 1983 (Commodore 64)

This enchanting Pac Man type game has a lot of interesting features that make is more than just another Pac Man clone.

First off, the main mechanism is that you "shoot" a note when you "eat" it, which makes it difficult and interesting to attack enemies, as they usually chase you.

Second, when an enemy is shot, it instantly respawns from its pen. This makes getting at notes near the pens an interesting challenge.

I'm this principle of instant respawning for my Rivers of Impossibility game. It's sort of like Gauntlet, but each generator only spawns one creature at a time. You need to touch a spawn point to seal it, but a simple direct assault won't generally work well because the creature will simply respawn instantly no matter how many times you shoot it. So you have to think about how you will lead away the creature or get around it.

#RiversOfImpossibility

I'm going to start posting random development thoughts on my current project, "Rivers Of Impossibility", a sort of MC Escher inspired hybrid of Realm of Impossibility and Gauntlet.

First off, my isometric perspective inspiration:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OC6vJaeExk

This C64 BASIC program shows an interesting random isometric maze generator. Unlike true isometric, the dihedral angle is a steep 45 degrees (it should be 30 deg for true isometric). But there are a number of mathematical and geometric conveniences to this 45 degree isometric perspective.

Vangauntlet - game idea for forced scrolling Gauntlet clone

A game idea I've been kicking around is a hybrid of Gauntlet and (NES) Section Z, with a bit of (TRS-80) Sea Dragon ... basically a Gauntlet clone but with a difference. The game uses forced scrolling, like Section Z. Some levels scroll very slowly, so you must endure attacks with no option to quickly rush to the exit. Some levels scroll very fast, so you can barely do much more than dodge.

Most levels scroll at medium rates, which puts pressure on you to navigate the maze and push through or around enemies to keep up. This radically alters the feeling of the action. Also, you buy power ups with treasure, so you really need to learn how to harvest treasure from each level efficiently. (You can replay levels, but each play halves the amount of treasure available.)

Some other ideas to mix things up:

There can be any number of enemies on screen, but only 6 of them move at a time. This introduces a "speed up" factor I really like. Also, the speed of enemies depends on their strength:

GREEN = 3 hit points, slow speed
YELLOW = 2 hit points, medium speed
RED = 1 hit point, fast speed

So, it can make a lot of sense to try and dodge around strong enemies to try and get the generator first. Or to just try and bypass as many enemies as you can and concentrate on grabbing treasure.

RetroGaming Shorts Part 053 - Various Super Star Trek type C64 games

Various Super Star Trek type games (Commodore 64)

Here are just 3 of many Super Star Trek type games for the C64. Star Trek was one of the first really popular computer games, and its basic structure would be used for Star Raiders and many flight sims since.

The basic idea is that you command one ship and you try to rid the galaxy of enemy ships. This galaxy is a grid of square sectors, within which are randomly placed stars, friendly starbases, and enemy ships. You go from sector to sector, managing your energy, shields, and ammo ... you can resupply at starbases.

It was a really great game design with random placement making each game different and providing a feeling of exploration.

Space the Ultimate Frontier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS92L9N-rtk
Star Trek (1985, Share Data) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3kB5uxTXmU
Star Trek (Dave Neale) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ROrEUe_2IY

I'm using these games as references; my Obligalore game project is more along the lines of Star Raiders in that there's first person arcade style action for the combat, but other aspects are inspired by classic Super Star Trek. Also, I'm drawing inspiration from space trading games, so you trade for supplies rather than simply being repaired/supplied at starbases.
