You +can shoot in three directions; left diagonal, straight up, and right +diagonal.. using the keys 4, 5, and 6 respectively.. You try to hit +one of two objects flying by.. at apparently varying speeds.. Your +score is displayed on your left, the number of missles you have left +is displayed on your right. (You get 15).. + +This game ("UFO") is not new. I have a copy of it from 1977 (!). It +was one of the original CHIP-8 games on the audio cassette that was +included when I bought my first computer, the Finnish-made Telmac +1800. + +It was also the first real program to run under CHIP-48 (it was used +as a test case during the development of the CHIP-48 interpreter). The +reason I have not posted it to the net myself is that I have no idea +about its copyright status. I don't even know where it originated +(RCA, perhaps?). + +The cassette that was bundled with the Telmac 1800 contains more than +a dozen CHIP-8 programs. If someone could convince me that these +programs are indeed freely redistributable, the other programs could +also be posted. Otherwise, perhaps this one shouldn't have been. -- cgit v1.2.3
