MEMO, old game remake that celebrates Amiga games
« on: March 15, 2011, 08:48:08 AM »
Hi all,

recently, for reasons that would be too long to explain, I have rewritten a little old game of mine called MEMO. I used the occasion to turn the game into a tribute to the classic Amiga games (and, consequently, to the Amiga itself).



MEMO is a card memory game with some nice features, among which a simultaneous 2-player mode which adds the fun of battling a friend in real time.
You can find all the details on its website at http://saimobvq.interfree.it/MEMO/. The game is available for free download and glUAE users can get it downloaded, configured and installed for transparent emulation by the specific helper available on the HELPERS page of the glUAE website.

Enjoy!

Because of lack of room, my A1200 is lying in the roof of a friend, so I had to code the thing under UAE (E-UAE on AOS4, to be precise). Then Cammy gently tested the game on her A1200 and her accelerated A600.

Ive not tried it yet, but your conviction (boh, that c64 game who's name I forget, Memo) is quite refreshing in amigaland these days.

Saimo for president I say  :)
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Thanks a lot for your kind words :)

BTW: the C64 game name is QUOD INIT EXIT. Also, since we're at it, for convenience of who missed them, here are a few other little free games:
 * Follia NBA: http://saimobvq.interfree.it/Follia_NBA/ (puzzle game);
 * KOG: http://saimobvq.interfree.it/KOG/ (arcade game);
 * SCRAMBLY DV: http://saimobvq.interfree.it/SCRAMBLY_DV/ (puzzle game that pays a tribute to the Amiga demoscene artists);
Looking at the future, I should be resuming the development of Huenison shortly...

@all

I've been reported that occasionally the program might render garbage in the HUD and then stop working. I've discovered that the problem occurs when the tilt mode kicks in and that the cause is a missing '#', which leads to a wrong address (it's amazing that things worked the same anyway, here). Tomorrow a fixed version will appear on Aminet.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
