Hi guys, I just want to announce another new Acorn Atom conversion .......... ----====[ JOE BLADE!! ]====---- The original Acorn Electron version is converted for the Atom. This game has great graphics, 128 screens and 6 puzzles to solve. It's a nice little game. I'll upload it soon to the RetroSoftware site, as soon as Samwise added a page ....  You can already preview the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF20Lc778Lo Greetings Kees |

What a nice looking conversion, Kees! I suppose the sound and graphics suit the Atom as well as they do the BBC and Electron.  What made you choose Joe Blade as your latest conversion? |

Hi David, I always liked the graphics of this game and the resolution fitted nicely in a CLEAR4 Atom screen. This means no time consuming sprite and map scaling Also the masking/displaying of sprites is done nicely. It has not the fastest framerate (about 10 frames/sec) but that's because the lower 2 rows of the background (256 x 64 pixels) are always copied to the screen. The game is only about 8 kB code and the rest is graphic/sprite/map storage. Greetings Kees |

Good to know it's one of your easier conversions.  Did you consider altering the gameplay at all? I always found the length of time the enemies take to die to be a bit too long. |

Yep, you're right because you have to wait untill they are gone if you don't want to decrement your strength. I changed it to 1/4 of the original time now. Greetings Kees |

Nice one Kees.. Not a game I've ever played before if I'm honest, maybe I should wait for the Atom version to try it out
