Re: 3d deathchase

Basically, it wasn't possible to contact Mervyn J. Estcourt to ask for permission to release it, so it's never had a physical release. A shame, as I'd like to. I'd also like to make a little update to it, but I lack the time just now. The broken link is down to the fact that I lost my webspace. Howe...

Re: ROTATING IMAGES PMODE3

Yes, it looks like what I'm thinking of, although expressed a little differently:

This was more like the way it was expressed in Nintendo documents.

Re: Disk version (VDK) Weetabix Vs The Titchies

Thanks - have a CoCo version for completeness! I have implemented this by doing a lot of pokes in the basic loader. It was a relatively simple conversion, it only used two common ROM calls and some other pokes were needed to cope with the different key matrix. 5E56 JSR $8012 ; Read joystick (instead...
