Genre: Arcade - Pac Man
Tape Loader: Dance-A-Load/Martyload
This was originally an unfinished game, which was released on to the Commodore Format cover tape, and was lacking a front end, and picture. In 2002, I asked the game's author if I could update his game by adding a front end and some other additional pieces of code. Although I was still sort of a beginner at programming in assembly language. The result turned out quite good at the end.
Play the role of a green or a yellow pac ball around the maze, chomping those blue pellets. There are also pellets of a different colour, which will enhance game play. Watch out for those boulders before they drain your energy and squash you. There are 100 (or maybe more) levels for you to pit you skills against before you are able to complete this game.

Genre: Puzzle - Tetris
Tape Loader: 202 Turbo Loader
This was one of my brave attempts at making my own puzzle game. A kind of tetris, but with a difference. Sadly today, I find my Super Seven to be not so super :o(
The aim of this game is to drop a dice on top of one of the dices that is in the bottom of the container. Each dice switches it's value, and your job is to simply match the value of your dice to one of the dices at the bottom of the screen. If you mess up, then a life will be lost. Once all lives are lost, it is game over. Simple gameplay, but rather boring I have to agree about.

Your mission is to help your two sheep defend each of the vortexes against the alien invaders. Unlike the final versions of Sheepoid, this Pre-Released version doesn't allow sheep bombs, and stuff like that, but it should provide you with some fun.. Remember - DO NOT SHOOT THE BABY SHEEP. LET THEM DIE, YOU WILL LOSE LOADS OF POINTS. Can you clear all 24 vortexes to save planet Earth or will Earth be DESTROYED by the aliens? (Gibber). Only one way to find out. Play the game, and ENJOY :)

Tape Loader: Dance-A-Load/Martyload
This was originally an unfinished game, which was released on to the Commodore Format cover tape, and was lacking a front end, and picture. In 2002, I asked the game's author if I could update his game by adding a front end and some other additional pieces of code. Although I was still sort of a beginner at programming in assembly language. The result turned out quite good at the end.
Play the role of a green or a yellow pac ball around the maze, chomping those blue pellets. There are also pellets of a different colour, which will enhance game play. Watch out for those boulders before they drain your energy and squash you. There are 100 (or maybe more) levels for you to pit you skills against before you are able to complete this game.

This was one of my brave attempts at making my own puzzle game. A kind of tetris, but with a difference. Sadly today, I find my Super Seven to be not so super :o(
The aim of this game is to drop a dice on top of one of the dices that is in the bottom of the container. Each dice switches it's value, and your job is to simply match the value of your dice to one of the dices at the bottom of the screen. If you mess up, then a life will be lost. Once all lives are lost, it is game over. Simple gameplay, but rather boring I have to agree about.
