Starforce Nova - Commodore 64 - longplay
6Minotaurus hit again! :D
Million of thanks to him and let's read his usual notes:
A shooter published by Mastertronic at the budget price of £1.99.
You have to survive until you reach the bonus zone; here you must shoot certain letters, in the correct order, to spell a word (a planet name).
if you shoot only some letters, you will restart the level, then reaching the bonus zone again, you can try to shoot missing ones.
Each mistake will reset the letters obtained up to that point.
Let's also read some note directly from the programmer!
Chris Harvey here again!
I was the progammer on this, and yes it was rubbish.
I actually did it as a favor for Ray Tredoux (the programmer of the C16 version and a good mate of mine). Mark Cooksey (also a good mate of mine since we hired him to do the Airwolf music). It took me about 2 weeks to bang this out because Mastertronic only wanted the C16 if there was a C64 version coming.
FUN FACT.
I used the name Fred Dineage because he was a sad bastard TV celebrity in the 70's and 80's (HOW? Anyone).
FUN FACT 2:
type "wherearetheynow" in the bottom left of the screen, move the cursor back under the ready, and scrolly message in game will be a list of celebrities that fell from grace.
FUN FACT 3
The music ("I feel love" by Donna Summer, is a note for note copy of the 12" remix available to DJ's (which was my 80's moonlighting job). Mark knocked it out the park!
This video is part of the videogame endings database, whose goal is to catalogue and create the world's largest archive of videogame endings! (what an humble and not ambitious project :D)
