Remember the old days when computers had 8-bit processors and 64kB only?Remember the Sharp MZ-700 with it's ASCII graphics, Z80 processor, just 8 (Eight!!!) colors and not much sound?It came with some prepacked games, one of them was Man-Hunt which I really liked... and still do. So I took the chance to see how complicated it is today to implement such a game. Yes, writing a primitive screen driver was nice and a bit of work, but the game itself was not much trouble. So if you like this game and I see it is downloaded, chances are great that some other Sharp MZ-700 works of art will follow.Why? Just found no emulator for Android running ooth and being in a RETRO-mood myself... It's been 30 years I coded on this machine in the first place, so the sentimental journey was very welcome.You think the game is hard, real hard to win? Well, back then we didn't have much tutorials and entry levels like today...Preview included: Painful Man will be the next Sharp MZ-700 game reimplemented here. Currently not an exact copy, but it works as a start...This free app contains banner ads - but only loads them when the device is connected via WiFi to save costs. This is an experiment and probably a paid version will follow. Without ads then, if there is any interest in such.[详情]
