Title: Pang (not the one you think!): a hidden gem
Post by: norecess464 on 14:32, 28 November 24
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:


I found a video here:

I had a great fun with STAR FIGHT when I was a kid :  star fight © hebdogiciel (1985) (https://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&onglet=dumps&num=2390)
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? :P
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  :D

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