Author's Notes | I've developed this game for the C16, using a Commodore Plus/4. It just barely fit into the C16's memory! We have sold about 1700 pieces back then. The game is based on a well known idea: on a board of squares your job is to paint the squares while ghost are trying to get in your way. The game contains 99+1 levels, which was quite a big deal back then. Most of the levels were designed by my then-girlfriend, who is now my wife :-) The game produced several articles in the papers, seeing how it used interrupts. E.g. there was an article about a program using interrupts to play two channels background music.
The graphics on the cover was also designed by my girlfriend, if I can remember it, I'll try to dig up the cassette and send you the cover scan.
This one was the only game I developed for the machine, my goal was to prove that I can do it, I wasn't in it for the money. :-)
This software is my intellectual property, you can use it on your website. Novotrade only paid royalties for each copy they sold.
