My Computers and Games Website

[Brian]

Hey guys,

I've been picking up lots of amazing computer hauls lately (original
Mac, IIGS Upgrade, NeXTstation Turbo Color, etc) so I finally decided
to make a little website site last week to showcase my stuff (The
last website I made was almost 10 years ago with Geocities using
strictly HTML, oh how times have changed). It's still a work in
progress, but I have all my Apple machines listed as well as all my
Apple II games I made last year and other random electronics and hack
videos and stuff. Hope you enjoy it.

I'd watched your video for DDO but hadn't played the game 'til now. Very cool. I only managed to combine platforming style (using more than just one horizontal surface), enemies that constantly move around of their own accord, hi-res graphics and BASIC in 2 or 3 games ultimately, out of all I made.

Platformers have always been my favorite genre of game so its
definitely one I wanted to make on the Apple II. Although DDO is
visually better than the original, The Deadly Orbs, I still think the
first one worked better since it plays much faster and had more
levels. With double hi-res graphics, I was only able to fit 5 levels
into the 140K space I had available on a single sided disk and also
had to make several sacrifices from my original idea because it was
just too darn slow. It works out though because I have them on a real
double-sided disk with Deadly Orbs 1 on 1 side and Deadly Orbs 2 on
the back side. :)
