I’ve recently been thinking of how to give away games for free but also with a little encouragement for people to donate to help me keep going – and maybe even let me buy my ever-suffering wife a Christmas present. My reasoning was maybe access to the high score board of future games could just [...]

Visually I think the game is just about there now – as you can see from a comparison to the original. Hopefully it’s looking like a nice mid-80s arcade machine game or something.
