3D Dracman (ou Dracman, como também é conhecido), surgiu pela primeira vez como um type-in na edição da Your Computer de Fevereiro de 1984. E é essa versão que nos parece que está preservada na Spectrum Computing. No entanto, graças a Steven Brown, conseguimos chegar a uma outra versão, que inclui as instruções. Terá sido esta versão lançada comercialmente em cassete? Quem souber, por favor nos diga.
Poderão aqui descarregar Dracman.
The original article in YC says that the game is available on tape from the author for £2.30. Seems likely that this is that version?
ResponderEliminaryes, most probably yes :)
EliminarI wrote 3D Bat Attack. It was written in the course of 5 days as a type in for Your Computer. It ended up good enough that I started selling myself but then rights were purchased by Cheetahsoft - there was a bidding war between Atari (who wanted to get into Spectrum games) and Cheetahsoft. Some of the 3D stuff was code I reused that I had originally written as a 3D utility for Your Computer - Mark C. Jones
ResponderEliminarWow, wonderful! Thank you for clarifying that, Mark. :)
EliminarThe download is no longer available?
ResponderEliminarNo, from time to time I empty my dropbox. But I added to ZXDB. Must be available in a few days.
