๐ I have a MiSTer! Let's play through a classic Commodore Amiga game. Today I'm playing 1988 shoot 'em up 'Menace' by DMA Design (now Rockstar North).
The game has selectable power-ups, and an interesting power-up system featuring weapon upgrades with different qualities and options that fires in the opposite direction of your movement, a neat design choice.
It has infinite continues, which I'm using to their full extent to beat the game. I'm also using a 128 ms rate auto-fire, which helps a lot with avoiding finger pains. :)
The game was developed by 3 people. It was programmed by David Jones, founder of DMA Design, who published a series of articles about his work in the game in 7 issues from 1990 of the magazine 'Amiga Format'.
The art was by Anthony Smith, who really showed his skills in the impressive pseudo-sequel to this game, 'Blood Money' from 1989.
The music is by David Whittaker, famous for his inspiring work on games like 'Shadow of the Beast'. The soundtrack for 'Menace' is catchy if a bit repetetive - it reminds me of another soundtrack of his, 'Obliterator', especially the use of slow portamentos and his trademark punchy Commodore 64-style synth bass lines.
Both 'Menace' and 'Blood Money' were published by Psygnosis and I always remember 'Menace' being referenced in the intro to 'Blood Money'. It was developed by the same 3-person team, except for the addition of Ray Norrish for composing the 'Blood Money' music.
The MiSTer is a FPGA-based open source emulation system that emulates a large variety of computers, consoles and arcade games from the 1990s and older.
