ABOUT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHAMP Asteroids is a replica of the classic Atari version. CHAMP
Asteroids features full 256-color graphics with joystick, keyboard, or
mouse control.
CHAMP Asteroids was designed completed by myself and took just about a
month to complete. The original version was black and white in the
VGA 640x480 graphics mode. Look for this version's release soon as
CHAMP Asteroids Classic. Asteroids, like Pac-man and Centipede, is one
one of favorite arcade games, but I was unable to find a decent copy
out there. I hope you enjoy playing CHAMP Asteroids as much as I did
designing the thing.
The game itself is programmed in C and assembly. The sounds, unfortunately,
are of the basic one-voice PC speaker variety. If anyone out there can
direct me down the path to SoundBlaster and Adlib support for my games, I
would greatly appreciate it. Also, if you have any other classic arcade
games you would like see in CHAMP format, or any comments about
the ones you've tried, drop me a note.
