Arkanoid... Now hang in there one second!! I know we've got one but don't give up on me yet.

Here (www.eongames.com) is a game called "Bust Em'" for the Sharp Zaurus. It's an Arkanoid clone with a few differences.

Ones I would like to point out that I think are superb:

1. You can move your paddle up & down enabling you to hit the ball harder (faster) or softer (slower), the height you can move is determined by a "force field" that moves up & down with power ups

2. Blocks are all sorts of sizes & shapes

3. When you hit the blocks they smash.. no, Bust! into their respective pixels -Smaller blocks less debris- landing at the bottom of the screen therefore giving you less space to move (The faster you destroy the level, the less debris you get)

4. Shaped walls so the ball bounces all over the table

5. VERY partically. Dots flyin around everywhere. Quite spectacular to watch.

There's loads more but you can't just "copy" a game can you ;-)

It really is a super game, I guess it would help to see it moving. I was thinking of doing it myself too but I then realised that I can't program :-D I made gfx for games but they never moved ;-)

Oh & the choice between its own screen or window on WB would be nice as well as a backdrop option (Mainly for its own screen.

Good luck with whatever you do though.

Someone has just mentioned a Tanx or Worms game & this hit me. It had COMPLETELY slipped my mind.

A Game called "Death Tank Zwei". Originally a secret game on "Duke Nukem 3D" on the Saturn & NOWHERE else.

AWESOME! As is the case with a lot of GOOD games don't be fooled by the gfx it's slicker than your average leaky tanker (NO offence global preserver peeps :-) )

Have a look here http://users2.ev1.net/~belpowerslave/deathtank.html for some info.

It's basically a tank type game only instead of taking turns, you all just fire together. There's a little "ready to shoot" bar that gradually fills after you fire (It takes differing amounts of time to fill depending on the weapon you have collected) then you can shoot again.

It's such an addictive game it's sick.

Now we don't exactly have the multi-tap of the Sega Saturn but online play would just kill the competition.


ANYWAY, do you have any ideas yet? I take it you're looking for "simple but effective" to start with.

Keep us posted with any progress or decisions you make.

Great, I hope it goes well for you.

If there's anything I can help with, just holler ;-)
