Target Systems: BBC Microcomputer Licence: Non-Profit Commercial Release Date: 6 November 2010 Developed in: Ophis 6502 assembler Number of Players: 1 Joystick Support?: Yes (1 player, digital) Revealed at Retro Fusion 08, a long-lost BBC Micro sequel to Repton 3 that was shelved after the launch of Repton Infinity. After discovering some unfixable bugs due to a lack of source code, Sarah Walker has reimplemented the core engine, creating arguably the best Repton engine for the BBC Micro. An Electron port including a Plus 3 enhanced version is also in development. Four levelsets of six screens have been completed by a host of talented Repton famous faces - contributors include the author of Repton 3, Matthew Atkinson, Superior Software head honcho Richard Hanson, PC Repton level designers, Michael S and Jonathan P as well as other RS team members. In addition, Retro Software's graphical supremo Dave Jeffery has given the new game a complete, but traditional, graphical overhaul. The game was finally completed and launched on November 6th/7th at the huge R3PLAY gaming show in Blackpool. See the forum below for the latest information. N.B.

The author can't remember writing it, but based on a friend's recollection it was probably written in a couple of days in 1986 between two of his other games, Ripton and Starquake. The name is a homage to Barcrest's Hyper Viper (1983), Kenton's favourite fruit machine. For its official release, Paul Davis has tweaked the sound to work on the Electron, added a high score table and reduced the chance of a random re-spawning rock killing you instantly without warning. Update: Pitfall Jones has added joystick support for new release v1.1, which also includes a Plus 1 compatibility fix from Paul Davis. Update: Now ported to the Acorn Atom by Kees van Oss.
