Thrust

Stupid school blockin it

I have been looking for this games for years, it is great to see it and play. First time around it was brilliant and this has captured it so spot on. Pretty hard. Thank you for your time on this.

Great game, absolutely love it. Great work! Never played the classic but still very fun.

yes

Set default controls to, arrows: thrust, rotate and shield (ala asteroid) and space to fire. Write this under the game

Put your flash component somewhere you can unflashblock it.

This doesn't work for me... For one thing, whenever I crash, the ship disappears, I lose control, and then nothing happens. No restart, no YOU LOSE, nothing. Also, I cannot shoot. For another thing, when I use the tractor beam to get the fuel, everything turns black except for the green thing between the fuel and the pod.

Absolutely superb!

Brought back so many great memories - can't thank you enough.

A few questions - is this entirely a new implementation or have you used some BBC Micro code in this?

Looks like it's all in JavaScript. except the sound as you mentioned.

Thanks again,

Dude! I I'am too young to remember the 8-bits very good (but I have had a Commodor-64 as a little child) but ambience of this game affects me strongly. The minimalistic old-shoolish style is perfect. And the caption "PLANET DESTROYED" is amazing too look at. Soo little is said in the game and though - it stimulates the imagination to find out what is this little ship that is stealing something and destroying planets. Great work! I thing I'am gonna try to complete this game without cheating :) Thank you!

Fantastic. This game is 100% exactly what it should be, and you'll get nothing but praise from me.

Some of these other comments (Sticky keys?! FFS, TURN IT OFF THEN!) make me really really sad.

So fr**k*ng hard!

if you use a PC and press shift to many times it turns on sticky keys and the game doesn't work anymore.

What is the objective on level 1? I pick up the ball, then what?

I can't play this game at all, but hey, it's awesome.

...lawlzman, please, read the other comments PRIOR to posting.

Also: In 8, I managed to leave the map by flying straight down, full thrust, using shield. I don't know when this works exactly, but I assume the extra speed allows it. It's reproducible on 8, but I've yet to try it on other maps...thought it was worth posting.

umm... it kinda needs better controls

A perfect rendition of one of the best Commodore 64 games ever. The original by Firebird was a little slower which makes this version harder but the keys are fine, same as the original which I played for years! Good job, Thanks!

Hey, people who are whining about the controls. Not only is there a way to change them manually, but there's a Cheat command to make the game easier if you're going insane trying to beat it. Stop whining and have fun.

please change the controlls to somthing with wsad or arrow keys and 2 other keys for fire and shield/pick up

Awesome Port, I use to play this heaps back in the day :) - I can not remember what machine I played it on, may of been early PC, but it could of been a Amstrad CPC - But it's 100% the same, well done... After changing the key-binds to something to which suits me, it was easy to play... I did not spend too much time on it, but managed to get to level 5... (brought back heaps of memories, thanks for the port, now I have something to play with in my spare time), eg: playing it when I'm suppost to be working ;)

Not that it's *your* fault persay, but the controls are awful, and just don't make for an enjoyable experience.

Also, all kinds of ish goes sour if Flash isn't installed. You can't shoot, the playfield goes blank after refueling, etc.

This is great! It's pretty hard but hey, a challenge is always welcome :P

Incredibly hard to play, especially on non English keyboards. Nice idea though but needs improvements.

this is pretty good, but sorta hard to control and using 2 doesnt turn it
