Short: AmiBee (TwinBee) Nice Manga Vertical Shooter
Uploader: mrbyte@chavin.rcp.net.pe (Lobsang A. Szaler)
Author: mrbyte@chavin.rcp.net.pe (Lobsang A. Szaler)
Type: game/shoot
Version: 0.85 (01 August 1997)
Requires: AGA
AMIBEE is a conversion for Amiga of the famous TwinBee videogame from Konami.
It's a nice vertical shooter featuring a funny character flying and firing to
everything in the screen, trying to collect color bells (covered by smiling
clouds) which bounces when you fire them.
It's like a mix between Hybris and Galaga, but with anime graphics-style.
I played the original game (TwinBee) on PC-Engine, and... considering that no
one had plans to release it (or something similar) for Amiga (may be the only
anime-style shooter available for Amiga is Apydia, from Kaiko), I decided to
write myself this conversion.
Some graphics are taken directly from PC-Engine's TwinBee version and used as
base for my own new graphics. I'm spending lot of time adding extra features
(more colors, more details, antialias, brightness, etc.).
I hope you like them...
The music was composed by me (using fantastic Teijo's SoundStudio!!!) and it's
based on Neuromancer (C=64 game). Of course it's far to be completed...
(If someone can send me the original Neuromancer theme by Devo, on CD, I would
be very grateful!).
----------+ INSTALLING AMIBEE
Simply decompress the packed file in your favourite HD partition.
If you wish to make a bootable disk, you have to copy four files:
- LIBS/mathtrans.library
- LIBS/diskfont.library
- FONT/topaz (drawer)
- FONT/topaz.font
NOTE: Press "S" to skip the two intro-screens quickly, after you read them.
Press "ESC" to exit game (while playing) and return to Workbench
----------+ CONTACT
AMIBEE is freeware, at the moment. This is the first public release to test if
everything is working correctly. Lot of features are not yet implemented, but
all the most important routines are just there, so it will be very easy and
fast to improve the game. What you will see is the work of 2 months (actually
it would be only one... but I guess I played too much time Worms DC...).
Please contact me for any suggestions, criticism or contributions. I would like
to see how many people likes my game and if would be interested to see new
versions. If you wish to help me a bit with music or simple graphics (enemies,
background blocks, a new logo, piccy for each level), feel free to email me.
