GS Invaders

[ltchean@iss.nus.sg (Lim Thye Chean)]

Have you downloaded the GS Invaders? Please do if you have not.

As a beta tester of a much earlier version (the one uploaded previously),
I was very surprise at the quality of the released version. First, the sprites
are well done, and the sound tracks are good! I especially like the sound
track 1 + sound effect, sounds like the original arcade machine.

OK, so you have downloaded it. So you have played it and liked it. Have you
take some times off just to write an email to the author and say thanks?
David Ong IMHO is an excellent GS programmer. I asked him to release this
game as shareware, or sent it to SoftDisk, and yet he decided to give the
game to all of you free, and in the past, I remembered no many people actually
send him letters. What so difficult about writing an email?

Note that I did not write this letter for David Ong. This is just my concern.
He plans to finished a much better fast-scrolling arcade game called
Defender of the World. He also plans to write a game or two for the Second
Sight Video card. He also plans to write some more classic arcade games for
GS, and I hate to see all these plans go away just because not many people
care. It is rare to see good GS programmers writing freeware now. And please
support him.

Why do I write this? Oh well, you know I keep receiving letters that they
want more good software. OK, you know what do I get from releasing Keywin
series for the Apple II computer? Not many except some like "I am still not
free to DOWNLOAD it". Mmm... so why should we spend more times writing and
uploading it? After this, I now have no plan for writing for 8 bit machines.
For the GS, I do plan to write an arcade game for Second Sight.

So, if you like GS Invaders, please drop the author a thanks note. You will
never know how much it means to a freeware author.

PLUS: To david, please add some stars background to GS Invaders. Scrolling
one would be a plus. :) And now I know why I never know my score and levels.
The game will go back to the title screen IMMEDIATELY after my last ship
dies. Please ask the user to press a key which is not J, K, A or Space
(You know why). And yes, about the flags. :)
