Zero Hour is unique to other games I have created in that it has no scoring. The game is a mashup
of game genres. It's a platform game with a few puzzle elements and a
sense of adventure thrown in.
It
uses an upgraded version of my 3-plane graphics engine used in my game
Gunstar in a higher resolution and provides a full screen backdrop of
animated cogs. It was the most time consuming game that I developed due to the fact that many levels have a mini-game.
The 2 channel interrupt driven sound uses one of the channels to provide a soft mechanized background soundscape while the other channel provides the digital sound effects and voices.
The
game is designed for a standard 6809 CPU but will utilize a 6309 CPU if
it detects it to provide an approximate 10% speed boost.
Zero
Hour was designed to be fun for the average player. It doesn't require
you to be a pro game player and it gives you the freedom to explore the
levels freely. The game is win'able for anyone with enough patience.
I hope it provides
CoCo enthusiasts with hours of fun and enjoyment.
