80's BASIC Games

These are C64 BASIC games the developer wrote as a teenager in the 1980's. They're slow, glitchy, and barely playable. BOUNCY BALL "My first attempt at what could be called a game. Uses joystick in port 2. Try to place blocks in the ball's path to score points." LOST MAZE "Text adventure/maze game. Complete." AMAZING MAZE "Graphical maze game, player controls animated sprite character. Uses joystick in port 2. Mostly complete." CHOPPER RAID "Unfinished horizontally scrolling shooter, similar to Activision's Chopper Attack." D&D "Simple dungeon crawler, uses custom characters. Uses joystick in port 2. Load & run "D&D", then follow the prompts. Complete." DEFLECTION "Breakout-style game. Uses joystick in port 2. Complete." PLANET DEFENDER "Invaders from space are attacking the planet. If they blast a hole in the ground, patch it by moving your ship over the hole. Uses joystick in port 2. Complete."
