New remake: Arcadia

| Arcadia is not only a pretty traditional shoot ‘em up, but this remake is also a remake of one of the earliest big-selling action games on the ZX Spectrum. There are only two rules; shoot…and survive! My projects tend to grow bigger and bigger with each game, so with this game the idea was to remake something simple – something that could be done in no more than two weeks – just for fun, and it shouldn’t be a vector game…but I was going to make it as one (helps development along when you don't have to draw a bunch of pixelart) ;-). I asked for suggestions on a forum about what to do and I chose this game from the answers. Made in BlitzMax as usual. :-) Read more and get the download links for Windows and OSX here: http://tardis.dk/wordpress/?page_id=937 A couple of screenshots. Click for larger versions   |

| Aww I remember Arcadia fondly. Downloading... [edit] Very nice version, even if you did cheat a little by avoiding pixel art lol. No, I like the glowing vector graphics. Last edited 2012 |

| Love it. Fantastic stuff. Arcadia was one of the first c64 games I ever played, something like 28 years ago (or thereabouts). Just letting you know - "current" is spelt incorrectly on the redefine keys screen. |

| Just letting you know - "current" is spelt incorrectly on the redefine keys screen. Haha, so it is. Oops. :-) ...I'll change that next time I update it. ;-) Thanks. :-) |

| Seems a little hard at first. My ships only last about 5 seconds. |

| Love the cool neon glowing look. :) |

| Me, too. I need to figure out how to do this. Search for Indiepath's texturedpoly mod. |
