New Game: Crimbo

Hi all


I did a simple and very unofficial ZX Spectrum to Amiga conversion of the game "Crimbo" by Little Shop of Pixels.

Somewhat rushed and unoptimised in an attempt to get it out before Christmas because who wants to play a Christmas themed game after? (so there are one or two things missing, myabe they'll be added for next year).

I know it is simple both graphically and in terms of game play, but hope you enjoy.

Instructions: go collect the gifts the nasty elves have stolen from Santa, etc etc. Controls are left right and fire for jump on the joystick.

http://bitkeeper.co.uk/downloads/Chrimbo.adf

Currently needs 1.5MB Amiga to run, it was developed for A500 config in WinUAE so it should be ok I hope on real A500/A600. It has been tested on real Amiga 1200s. Boot the disk, don't launch from workbench.

Merry Christmas all :-)

Got to level 3, took about 15 mins to get there. Difficult at first, but once you get into the flow, very enjoyable. I'll certainly be playing it more tomorrow. Thank you!

Looks nice, sounds nice, plays nice.

Hold in fire to jump for longer lengths.
Release fire when you want to descend.
Stand on the extreme edge of the two jumps at the top and hold in fire as you jump to cross the spikes.
