MacAvenger is a game I'm in the middle of writing. This is a BETA version. IT NEEDS AN 8-BIT MONITOR!! Don't download unless you have a 8-bit (256 color) monitor. This has been tested and runs fine on a IIcx, LC, and Quadra 700 and runs under system 6 or 7. The sounds will not work properly on systems earlier than sys-6.0.7, if you use an earlier system turn the sound off.
You move your guy with the keyboard and you fire by moving the mouse. These controls allow you to move in one direction while rapid-firing in another. You must destroy the evil robots which come at you from all sides while rescuing the defenseless humans. Lots (and I mean LOTS) of bad guys come at you. There are some pretty neat explosions and graphical and sound effects. This has some of the fastest color animation Ive seen on a Mac, IMBO (In My Biased Opinion). It has a solid Mac interface and on-line help. It might remind you of a robot arcade game from the 1980's. If you tire of the easier slow-paced games you might want to give this a try.
Its a considerable d/l so if you do spend the time to d/l it, please drop me email on how you liked it. This is the first time Ive ever u/l something that Ive written, and I have more stuff I plan on releasing in the future. Also, to get the fast animation I draw directly to the screen buffer - although I worked pretty hard on making in compatable it may not work w/ graphic accelerators or the Radius Pivot - I dont know really. If you find an incompatability - let me know
Hope you have fun w/ it and drop me a line and let me know what you think.
