Modern games for the BBC Micro/Master #1 : Planet Nubium
Planet Nubium is a platform game where you control Rocketman and his rocket backpack. Fly around each of 32 levels collecting parts of a forgotten password to reboot a malfunctioning supercomputer. The computer controls everything on Planet Nubium, from the weather, economy, transport systems and a myriad of gadgets which have all gone haywire. A rocket will propel your character upwards, whilst gravity brings you back down. Avoid the guardians and keep an eye on the limited amount of fuel! After collecting all objects in each level return to the spaceship to advance to the next level.
I have always enjoyed the rich bitmap graphics used in ZX Spectrum games, and so many of my favourite sprites from Spectrum games by Matthew Smith and Stephen Crow have been borrowed, copied, stretched and colourised for the new game.
The game was written for the BBC MASTER as this machine supports video double buffering in MODE 1. The code and graphics take up all four banks of sideways RAM.
