Games: BRIDGE RACER (1kb) by tomaes

Posted on by

screenshot-ingameThe third game for the Commodore 64 to enter the competition comes from the hand of tomaes.

Racer Bridge is a complete game written in under 20 lines of BASIC code, requiring less than 1KB of memory. It generates its own set of characters by modifying the  built in ROM charset.

The objective of the game is to go as far as possible, guiding your car across the road (using a joytick in port 2), dodging the holes in the ground and crossing the narrow bridges (in red).

To the right of the road, in orange is a damage counter, thies counter will increase each time your car hits a hole or gets out of the road. When it goes beyond 9 the game ends.

The best distance is saved to disk.
