It's certainly got an eye-catching look! 😊 All it needs now is colour-changing sound-sensitive LED lighting behind the display to reflect off the wall. 😎

Combat School was a smart idea. They're basically doing the same Track and Field, Hyper Sports, Summer Games style of game. But, since it's military school, there's much more opportunity to blow stuff up. 😄

The blue background, though true to the arcade, is unusual for the C64, where authors tended towards the safe choice of a black background. (Often the only way to make it high-contrast for the fuzzy TV's of the day.) There are a few hacked versions of the game that tweaked this:

Cool! I haven't seen a decent gravity game on the C64 since.. 1986? 😊

One thing I did like about Combat School was the extra tasks you could do to get back into the game, if you lost by an event by a narrow margin. The beautiful cruelty of the game: that you'd now be even more tired for the next event, having just done a bunch of chin-ups. 😊

No problem. 👍 If there's a mediocre game to be experienced on a niche platform, I'm all over it. 😋 I did have a 128 back in the day but, apart a Word Processor and Ultima V, there was nothing to be found here that took advantage of it. So it's nice to find the C128 things that are out there now. 😄

But, in all seriousness, that looks really good. 👍 A GIF I made of the original.. (Capturing every second frame.) 🤓

And lets not forget the sequel. For me, it was the perfect follow-up: futuristic metalic landscape, single-shots become double-shots, add a homing missile, and sprinkle some wee call-back easter eggs throughout the game. I've always got a spare credit for Time Pilot '84 too. 😄

I don't exactly *need* another Atari-to-USB joystick adapter, but I saw these ones on iCode dot com for a good price and thought "why not?" 😊 I'm surprised at just how much I like the wee display that shows the directions and button-presses it sees. 😄 www.icode.com/product/icod...

Android 2 (ZX Spectrum) The Speccy game came first, I think. There's an Amstrad version too, that I haven't tried yet. There's more animation to the robots in the Speccy game, compared to C64. Gives them a bit more character. Also the Millitoids take 3 shots, not 2. Ouch! An unpleasant surprise. 😋

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate," - Donald Trump As Trump's Iran war drags on, remember: President Obama ensured Iran couldn't get a nuclear weapon without starting a war. It was Trump who ripped up that deal.
