Subject: BBC Archiver, Tequilacomm, Game

I have placed the BFM archiver on shiraz in *EXECable format, in the
incoming software directory. I have also placed version 1.2u of Dave's
comms package "Tequilacomm", which is archived using BFM, at his
request.

A long time ago I saw a game for the BBC, which I think was a magazine
game, which involved a space craft flying from left to right across a
static mode 1 screen. It seemed to be set up so that there would be one
enemy per screen. The types of enemies ranged from homing mines to
missile bases and the like. A very simple little game.

Well I never had a copy of it, but thought it would be fun to write my
own version, so I did. It will download itself to &E00 if it needs to
(which it will on standard BBCs) but it is legally written, so it should
work with shadow ram and second processors. It works fine under the BBC
and Tube emulators on the Arc.

Would anyone be interested in seeing it on shiraz?

BTW This is my first posting to the mailing list... although I have not
been told to, I understand from previous postings that I should say what
hardware I have :-)

Well I used to use a BBC B with a 1770 DFS and ADFS, and a Solidisc 4
Meg 32k board. Now I have an A5000. But the BBC emulator plays a mean
game of Starship Command...

    Cheers, Julian.
