ASCII BASIC GAME 10Liner - Bomber Game!
A downloadable game
This game is for the Oric Atmos, a UK 8bit home computer from 1983 and was made for the ASCII BASIC Game 10Liner Jam.
Game is simple - your bomber is running out of fuel and needs to land but there is a derelict city in the way. Use your bombs to destroy the empty buildings and clear the way for you to land. Press any key to drop a bomb..if you manage to clear the strip, then the difficulty increases and you start all over!
Interesting features of this 10 line game:
- Using the ROM alternate character set for blocky graphics
- Multi-channel sound.. well 2 channels anyway! :-D
- Multi-colour graphics
- Increasing difficulty
Screenshot shows the listing - being 10 lines doesn't need more than 1 screen!
Download
Install instructions
Best run using an Oric emulator - I use Oricutron.
First download and install Oricutron from here : Oricutron Oric Emulator
Extract the zip file to a location of your choice. Once extracted, locate the "tapes" folder then download and save the asciibomber.tap file to this folder.
Run Oricutron, which will fire up in to Atmos mode by default.
Now type CLOAD"ASCIIBOMBER.TAP" and press return. The emulator will load the tape file.
Type LIST to show the program if you wish. To start type RUN (and press return).
