NSC Computer Game Challenge - Rules and Files



OK, as I've got at least 3 other people interested, let's have a go at this. The rules - different games will be played every week. Email me a screenshot of your best score and at the end of the round, points will be allocated Eurovision style. You don't have to take part in every round or sign up - just submit a screenshot to enter. (Although it would be useful if you signed up on this thread, just so as I have a rough idea of numbers)

We'll start nice and easy - Moon Cresta. For those of you who haven't played it before, here are the instructions :-

  200 Points                 100 Points

CONTROL OPTIONS
---------------

Moon Cresta can be played via the Keyboard (Option 3) or with a
Joystick (Option4).

Keyboard Control

Keys of the players choice may be selected - see Option 5.  (When
loaded Keys = COMMODORE KEY - LEFT, LEFT SHIFT - RIGHT, RETURN - FIRE,
F1 - HOLD)

Joystick Control

Insert Joystick into port 2

Abort

Hold Run/Stop and hit Restore to abort the game.

MOON CRESTA
-----------

Select game for 1 or 2 players.  Use joystick or keyboard to move
Rocket Ships (1-3).  Shoot and avoid the onslaught of attacking
Kamikaze Aliens but beware as their tactics and formations will change
as your skill increases.

Bonus is given at 30,000 points.

Game is over when all Rocket Ships are destroyed.

BONUS DOCKING
-------------

Use Rocket controls to make a docking-press fire for Retrofiring.  The
quicker the docking the higher the Bonus.  When docking is complete-
greater fire power is achieved.  Name registration for best 5 scores.

ENJOY THE TRIP!

Here are the files you will need. First, the emulator :-

Win Vice 1.14

And now the game :-

Moon Cresta

It is probably best to right click on the links and choose Save As. Unzip the emulator, run the X64.exe file that is extracted, select File - Autostart disk/tape image and then point it at the mooncrst.t64 file you downloaded above. Select option 5 from the menu to assign the keys you want to use and then option 6 to start the game.

To take a screenshot of your high score, select Snapshot - Save/Stop Media File. Change the Save As box from BMP Screenshot to PNG Screenshot. (PNG's are tiny and easy to email.)


Then, email your final screenshot to me at dave.bulwer@btinternet.com

Any queries, please give me a shout.
