GAME: Bananoid
TEXT: Bananoid is a breakout-style game with high (360 x 240) resolution
MCGA graphics, an oversized (544 x 240) play field and mouse-only
control using page-flipping for the screen control. The falling
blocks result in differing paddle effects, mostly good - one bad.
I know we're all a little tired of wall-block-paddle-pill games,
but the idea was simple, the graphics drivers were what interested
me. The speed is controlled by vertical retracing, so on a machine
slower than a 12MHz 286 the game may appear sluggish.
O well... But on a faster machine, the game operates at approximately
60 frames per second. There is only data for seven levels.
That's enough to demonstrate MCGA as a viable game mode on VGA cards.
