Posted on by

rec1DamianWorf presents REC(Recuerda El Color – Remember The Color), his version of the classic game Simon, for MSX  computers.

REC is controlled with the cursor keys and can be played alone against the computer or against another player, taking turns.

  • Name: REC
  • Author: DamianWorf
  • Platform: MSX
  • Description: This game tests our ability to memorize a sequence of colors and sounds. You can play alone, leveling up, or against an opponent. To play, look closely at the sequence of colors of your opponent. When the computer tells it’s your turn, you must repeat the sequence shown using the cursor keys for each color. If there are two players, each will add a new key after completing the sequence performed by the last!. Best of luck!

Games: El extraño caso de la lombriz que se alimentaba de simbolos ASCII y los perturbadores efectos que este alimento tenia sobre su crecimiento – by marcosjl

lumbriz2If there were a prize for the shorter game with the longest name, the third game for the Commodore 64 by marcosjl would surely win.

El extraño caso de la lombriz que se alimentaba de simbolos ASCII y los perturbadores efectos que este alimento tenia sobre su crecimiento (The curious case of the eartworm that fed on ASCII symbols and the disturbing effects this nourishment had on its growth), is a tiny (only 8 lines) implementation in BASIC of the classic game Snake.

On it we must guide (using a joystick in port 2) an earthworm around the screen to eat the symbols (#), while avoiding colliding into itself or the edges of the screen.

 

  • Name: El extraño caso de la lombriz que se alimentaba de símbolos ASCII y los perturbadores efectos que este alimento tenía sobre su crecimiento
  • Author: marcosjl
  • Platform: Commodore 64 (+joystick)
  • Description: With Joystick 2 we can reconstruct the life of this disturbing being that is still putting in check the entire scientific community. The program is written in 8 lines of BASIC for the simple reason that it was not possible to make it smaller. Note that the 2 hours spent on its development were took off a day of work in which the developer had to finish another project much more urgent, but when the need arises to write a C64 game in BASIC, that urge is impossible to stop .
