10/06/2002 James Watson Rocket. New BBC Game. Info from The Admiral: A sideways scrolling game. Best on a real BBC. The scrolling is as good as rocket raid and there is no flicker with the rocket even at the top of the screen, except on BBC emulators. For every screen roll the landscape will take about 60 bytes or less depending on how much detail you want. I hope in the long term this game will develop into the same professional level as rocket raid and Nevryon. I hope to have multi-load levels so I can keep it in mode 2 and include a lot of graphics and detail.
