A downloadable game

10 lines,  72 characters per line, ascii characters only - they said it couldn't be done! And, maybe, it couldn't - but here's my attempt at an aliens shoot-em-up for the Dragon 32 within those restrictions.

Install instructions

If you'd like to play, the easiest way is via Xroar - http://www.6809.org.uk/xroar/online/ - load the '.BAS' file as a tape, then do 'CLOAD' and 'RUN'. 

I've also provided a WAV if you'd like to play on a real machine.

Controls are 'Z' for left, 'X' for right and 'V' to shoot. Any other key is likely to have rather random results!

I love the look of this, the ASCII graphics and colour works really well!
