The Rebelstar games are a series of turn-based tactics video games designed by Julian Gollop. Rebelstar Raiders was published in 1984 by Red Shift for the ZX Spectrum. This version: i_am_Czar

The author:”I’ve remade my favourite CPC game, Rebelstar, at least three times over the years. Every time I got to a certain point, lost interest and gave up. I’ve tried a faithful remake, my own interpretation, and even a 3D version.

I gave it a video of the game and the original Z80 CPC binaries. The first prompt probably got it about 60% of the way there. A few more hours of prompting, mostly while I was working on other things, got it to the point where the game is now properly playable, with most of the original features eg reinforcements, picking up items, inventory management, and so on.

It was certainly a lot of fun to experiment with. I’ve kept the gameplay fairly close to the original, but added a different (and still unfinished) UI and a few modern conveniences such as mouse controls and screen zooming.

I’ve now played it through from start to finish and successfully completed the mission, which feels like a bit of a milestone given my previous attempts!”
