Pang (not the one you think!): a hidden gem

[norecess464]

Yesterday I discovered and played a game called Pang (https://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=3360)

According to CPC-POWER, it's a type-in program published in Schneider Magazin in 1988.

Don't expect fancy music or impressive graphics, but here's why I enjoyed it:

• It reminds me of the small games from Titus Collections Vol 1 & 2.
• Simple, addictive gameplay that delivers instant fun.
• It's kid-friendly! I played it with my son, competing to get the highest score.
• A typical game lasts just 2-3 minutes, making it perfect for quick, enjoyable sessions.

I found a video here:

I had a great fun with STAR FIGHT when I was a kid :  star fight © hebdogiciel (1985)
It's more limited (no boss), but it's frantic and the animation is so smooth.

Great pick @Jean-Marie  . The game play is very nervous in that one loll (and a bit too repetitive for my taste). But, GOOD!

There is also Crystal Mission that is fun to play as a little game. Also a magazine type-in (made by the demomaker Face Hugger).

@Jean-Marie So I played Star Fighter.

I scored 190700.

Will you be able to beat me?
The contest is open to everyone else on the forum too, hehe!
Let's have some fun... Can you feel that early Christmas vibe? 🙂🎄

I might give it a try soon. BTW, the guy in the video made 289900 after 10 mins of play

Haha, yes, that's what I realized after my post. I never claimed to be a great gamer! ;-)
