I didn't write this, it was one of the games in the series of three that Lutz V. posted from the Amiga. This is the only one I have gotten to work on the HP so far... Thank you Lutz, for posting these games! Dan Dunham Here's how to play UFO: You have a stationary missle launcher at the bottom of the screen. You can shoot in three directions; left diagonal, straight up, and right diagonal.. using the keys 4, 5, and 6 respectively.. You try to hit one of two objects flying by.. at apparently varying speeds.. Your score is displayed on your left, the number of missles you have left is displayed on your right. (You get 15).. ---------- Resp: 1 of 1 by gson at niksula.hut.fi Author: [Andreas Gustafsson] Date: Sat Feb 15 1992 This game ("UFO") is not new. I have a copy of it from 1977 (!). It was one of the original CHIP-8 games on the audio cassette that was included when I bought my first computer, the Finnish-made Telmac 1800. It was also the first real program to run under CHIP-48 (it was used as a test case during the development of the CHIP-48 interpreter). The reason I have not posted it to the net myself is that I have no idea about its copyright status. I don't even know where it originated (RCA, perhaps?). The cassette that was bundled with the Telmac 1800 contains more than a dozen CHIP-8 programs. If someone could convince me that these programs are indeed freely redistributable, the other programs could also be posted. Otherwise, perhaps this one shouldn't have been. -- Andreas Gustafsson (author of CHIP-48) Internet: gson@niksula.hut.fi Voice: +358 0 563 5592
