BasGa – two colors for a retro space theme

A Galaxian-like game, very reminiscent of old computers. It's styled after the four colors of the MS-DOS CGA palette. And with retro sounds. A cheerful, simple 8-bit melody. Two of them. Simple menu design. And a choice of two colors: blue and pink. As the main color.

This is a fascinating thread if you have any interest in retro pc graphics and the magic those in the demo scene can work. #retro #retropc #cga

Conveyors level 4 brings a helpful guard like those on level 2. The guard picks up one card and places it on a conveyor belt each turn. You have a single robot to take all four cards to their card readers. While there's no panic like in level 2, you still want to get a move on to help your score.

went and added most of the scenes/dialog to the CGA/DOS version of Peasant's Quest. Definitely not the whole game, but can be fun to walk around doing things.

Can't always decide which palette would be best. Cool Ranch? Taco-Seasoning? The horribly monstrosity that King's Quest 1 used?

You can try it yourself on the internet archive here: https://archive.org/details/peasant_202605

use control-A/B/Y to mess with the palette yourself

Ever since I saw this Q&A about "LCD mode" I've wanted to implement it in my games. My #hp100lx has the feature built in, but some #msdos #cga portables like the Amstrad PPC and the Psion MC don't. But I realised it's more complex than just inverting all the graphics as you load them. You have to make sure, for instance, that you don't invert software sprite masks, since they're working on logic rather than just aesthetics. https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/305318/what-was-lcd-cga-graphics-mode
