There’s a bit of a micro war going on over at vogons.org. Konc has just realeased a new CPC version of the type-in C64 game ‘Arcade Volleyball’. Here’s a few words from Konc himself.
Yes, this was mostly created as a joke “hey C64 friends I bet I can create in just 1 week a game that already exists on the C64 BUT BETTER”. Imagine the booing reactions and looks of disbelief that all charismatic pioneers are met with, “go play some Spectrum port on your sprite-less CPC” etc. But little did they know that I was about to recreate Arcade Volleyball, which on the C64 looks like this (and plays even worse, it was a type-in program from a magazine).
As you all know I am a die-hard C64 fan, and I must admit, Konc’s new version looks great and is indeed way more fun. If you want to try the game yourself, you can download it here: avcpc.zip
