A playable HTML + CSS + JavaScript remake of a space-based "shoot-'em-up" arcade game for Atari / Commodore 64 from 1982, including a level editor and design tool. Written as a prototype / demo of JavaScript and browser capabilities.
Hi Scott, thanks for this wonderful remake. I love it, just as much as I loved the original game!
I might be wrong, but I think in the original if you'd die inside a base you would respawn outside of it. In your remake, I lost all 7 lives in a row because a respawn inside a base is a situation that is difficult to get under control.
I'm working on http://osgameclones.com/ trying to build a list of open source clones of games. I've added your game and created a Wikipedia page for the original game to reference. The Wikipedia page needs fleshing out a little more, is there any chance you could provide a technical background to the game or contribute anything else you know.
