KIKSTART

I'm making a clone of my favourite Commodore Plus/4 game, Kikstart.
The reason the graphics are blocky is because I am using the original game graphics. The gameplay is very smooth though.(Unlike the Plus/4 version)
The levels were recreated from the original levels as well and there is a level editor for creating your own.
I am in the process of making a modern tileset as well and will give the user the option for classic mode, or new mode.

Currently it is only for Win32, hence no downloads !!



I will try a Mac version soon. I am only on PearPC though and may need some testers on real macs.

I own a G4 iBook and would like to test it, as soon as you need a tester. :)

Email me at mac@...

Can hardly remember the original, but when I play it again, who knows? :)

@Phil74
Why don't you use the C64 version of the GFX, they are a lot prettier and less blocky than the plus4 version ?
Still same game, just a thought.....

Same here... G4 PowerbookTi... I'll be happy to test.

1) What wedoe said 2) Do Kikstart 2 afterwards. That title music was cool. =]

Yeah the C64 version was much better looking :)

I never owned a C64, believe it or not !!
I will have to download an emulator and check out the graphics, music etc.

I loved the music on the Plus/4 version...don't know if it was the same, but I learned to play it on the piano...how sad !! :-)

I still want to keep this tile set, so maybe I will have a few to choose from when the game starts.

I will compile a Mac version as soon as the balloons, ninja stars and lightning are added. It's school holidays at the moment so I don't have as much time for programming.

Thanks for your interest guys.

Have a look at that, follow a few links, and eventually you'll want to go here as well if you don't have it already:

C64 was cool... :)

EHM!! I just happen to know that C64 STILL is cool... so take that :]

My c64 is burried somewhere in the cellar.
So I only have vage memories of it.
Old times never come back. :(

*Grisu gets sentimental*

No it isn't. The C64 version was more tactical, the Plus4 version more action oriented. (think Elastomania vs. Motocross Madness or something).

I agree KickStart2 for the C64 was the best of the bunch -- the hours I've spent on the level editor alone...

Which is what we have emulators for...

Nah Miggy version was, natch. But you can't beat the C64 version for the nostalgia factor. =]

It's good to see remakes being worked on in Max already. :)

Keep up the good work. :D
