Machine(s): Thomson TO7/70, TO8, TO9 (6809e @ 1Mhz) without extensions.
Format: Standard binary thomson file. Can be launched with
LOADM "",,r
from the K7 and
LOADM "ROCKFORT",,r
from the floppy. For the ease, AUTO.BAT is provided on the floppy.
It contains the LOADM instruction and doesn't count in the
production size.
Packer: Exomizer2 (1603b down to 824b plus 184b decruncher)
Remarks: 1) Press any key to go back to the boot menu.
2) Music is rare on the Thomson machines as they don't contain
music chip. The base plateform actually only contains an single
buzzer. This production features a very compact and full CPU
+ timer score player.
3) The scroller take about 10secs to do a full (rock&)roll over
the 256-pixels wide zone. This means that the production runs
at about 25fps.
4) Music is AC/DC's "back in black" converted from MIDI to internal
score.
5) The title is a pun. "rock fort" can be translated as hard rock
which refers to AC/DC. It also relates to Roquefort, a well
known French cheese.
6) For sure ELVIS LIVES! We've even got 4 copies of him in the
corners of the screen ;-)
7) I would go further and say ELVIS LIVES FOREVER (14).
