R8ro! (R-Eight-tro)
-------------------
Eight new mini games for the C64.
The story of these Games
An annual Mini Game Competition on
the internet is held in the three
categories of 1, 2 and 4 kilobytes.
While getting to know the C64 better
again (after years of coding for the
Atari VCS and about seven years since
my last C64 program) I had some ideas
for possible games in the lower size
categories. I thought that
multiplayer games, scrolling
multicolour landscapes, hectic puzzle
games, showing sprites in the borders
and other things would be possible in
even the lowest amount of kilobytes.
To have a goal to strive for, I plan
to compile eight different mini games
to a complete disk and cartridge
called "R8ro!" which should give the
owner a variety of different game
concepts to choose from.
Elimin8! (Eliminate)
--------------------
This is a game for one player. Nine
cities around a radioactive plant
have been polluted. The population
was evacuated and the useless and
dangerous buildings have to be
exterminated now. You fly over the
scrolling skylines and drop laser
shots to neutralize columns of
buildings. You can only move left and
right while the gravity pulls you
towards the buildings. You get more
points if you manage to hit buildings
without missing (combo scoring).

Calcul8! (Calculate)
--------------------------
This game for two players shows a
playfield of 8 by 8 numbers. Both
player alternating choose a field and
try to get the highest points and
leave less points for the opponent.
Player 1 can only move his cursor
horizontally while player 2 is only
able to move vertically. So choose
your fields wisely and take a look
which fields your opponent may take
afterwards.
Extric8! (Extricate)
--------------------------
This game for 1, 2 or 3 players
generates scrolling random tunnels
which the players have to pass with
their submarines. 2 players control
their sub with a joystick while the
3rd player uses the F1 & F7 keys. The
distance is counted for every player.
- so who is going to survive the
longest distance?
Affili8! (Affiliate)
--------------------------
This game for one player offers a
playfield of 6x6 squares where you
have to place randomly generated
tiles. After a few seconds a marble
starts rolling and it will follow the
trail of your placed tiles. The
marble removes passed tiles from the
field and there are also bombs to
remove misplaced tiles from the
screen. The game is over if the
marble crashes or if you didn't
manage to place some tiles within the
given countdown time. Try to prepare
alternative routes as you never know
which tile may appear next...

Pir8! (Pirate)
-------------------
Man, what a night! You hardly
remember anything and try to find
your way out of the dark dungeons of
what you believe is the cellar of the
bar where you spent the last evening.
Jump and run along different paths
and avoid the dead ends, falling too
deep or falling into the pits...
This 2kb game for one player offers
horizontal scrolling in both
directions with multicoloured
graphics. The level design is about
30 screens wide.

Loc8or (Locator)
---------------------
One or two player have to search for
a small pattern of 6x6 squares in a
randomized playfield. Finding a
pattern increases your score and adds
10 seconds to the countdown timer.
Try to find as many pattern as
possible - and more than your
opponent of course...
Sk8! (Skate)
-------------------
Obstacles appear in your way and you
have to jump to avoid them. This game
for one player is only controlled by
the fire button of your joystick.
Holding fire raises the jump bar and
releasing fire makes the player jump
as high as the bar was raised before.
Elev8! (Elevate)
--------------------
You control a marble and have to drop
from platform to platform. Avoid
falling out at bottom of screen and
don't let the platforms take you out
at the top. Catch as many points as
possible and beware of the shrinking
platforms.
