- Hi everyone, I did the whole packaging of this demo along with the help of Mr Bee who packaged the OVR part (and I did also the Legacy screens using team's member optimized core routines). Many thanks for the comments. We really appreciate.
I think it contains in one point most of the techniques that existed at this time to push hardware limits of a STF: hardware scrolling, overscan with 3D (where you could simply not use divide instruction), sound sampling at high rates combined with high colors, buzztones/synthsounds and of course the one Alien has written about (mouse/keyboard chip reprogramming) which is very unique. Even the disk drive had a special unique routine written by Mr Bee, because it could manage a second external floppy drive so that you do not need to change disk !
Please note that the Tetris game was larger than a standard one, because the project was initially a simultaneous 2-players game ;)
All these part were not designed to come together in the first place, and for some of them, this was simply abandoned code by most of team members. It was the beginning of the end for us. So Mr BEE and I decided to package everything together and release that final goodbye to the scene ! - isokadded on the 2016-02-24 23:04:04
