Loading ...One of our entries for first Retro Remakes games competition, mankind’s last hope!.
An epic game from the classic Commodore 64.
Instructions
You are Tal, the last hope for mankind’s successors in a post-apocalyptic world which has been destroyed by the invasion of a hostile alien race. The legendary sacred armour of Antiriad, an advanced anti-radiation suit, is the only weapon available to overthrow them. You have to find the suit and its components that are strewn about the landscape and then to use it to free your people.
This is a popular game from the 8-bit computers, and we feel we have done a faithful remake. However, it is not an easy game and exploration and learning is essential. If you are stuck, do a search on Google for Antiriad and you will find plenty of maps and solutions. If you are really stuck, try our getting started video 2Mb (Windows Media file)
Remake Details
So many rave reviews about this one – we just had to attempt a remake of it. The main code has taken a little over a week to complete. The graphics elements of the game will be recreated in a hybrid style of spectrum/c64 and Amstrad – all in glorious 32 bit colour.
Each 8 bit version has its own merrits – each of which will be recreated into an “easier” game than its original.
Now completed I can also tell you that we improved the gameplay slightly by allowing TAL (when not in his suit) to throw his little rock with a varying throwing arc. This is accomplished by pressing up/down whilst holding the fire button.
We sprused up the sfx by having the suit announce its status rather than just having it scroll across the status bar.
