Hunter III - The Final Straw
Carefully pilot your helicopter down the Final Straw, the infamous underground fortress. Armed with missiles, bombs and a winch, you'll have to solve many puzzles along the way.
Just about playable, but includes nasty random deaths.
Written in BASIC, with a selection of machine code routines, this program only just fits into a 48K Spectrum, by using Sinclair BASIC tricks like the expression PI/PI to save a few bytes over the constant 1.0. It was inspired by a puzzle game I saw on a friend's ZX81 computer.
Features my own, hand-assembled, interrupt driven AY sound, but to hear it you'll need to emulate a William Stuart Systems Mk3 Synthesiser or modify the program to use the ZX Spectrum 128 sound addresses:
- BREAK into the program.
- Enter GOSUB 9000 to restore the standard character set.
- Keys
- 1 - Up
- Q - Down
- 8 - Left
- 9 - Right
- 0 - Menu/Select
