Title: Skeet Shoot Light Phaser
Post by: cpc4eva on 12:59, 09 March 15
Was wondering if anyone from here was able to convert the Skeet Shoot game on the GX / Plus cart so you could play the game without using the light phaser gun?

Looks like a fab game but those without the original game and an original CPC machine and a light phaser gun are unable to play it :(

or has this already been done so u can play it through an emulator with keys / joystick ?

My solution was made a light gun for   the cpc folowing this tutorial: How to build a Trojan Phazer gun from an Amstrad Magnum (http://zonadepruebas.org/deepfb//ordenadores/amstrad/trojan_en.htm)

Works perfect!.

you can actually also use a light pen... I guess...  :laugh:


anyway as the GX/+ have a proper lightpen/gun port, this is actually pretty standard.
quite unlike the at least 3 different lightgun solution available on CPC.

yeah just played it for first time on markus's cpc java website cool game i got upto Sydney Harbour Bridge level missed out by 1 shot to go next level.  Looks quite hard to reach the target at this stage of the game.

my hand and arm got sore using the mouse lol well i am under medical treatment for my arm so it wouldnt have helped the healing lol

cool main screen music, fab GFX and cool background screens and the gameplay is addictive i love the bonus stage even though its over pretty quickly..... can you shoot the on screen stuff like the rabbit coming out of the hole or the scooba diver in the water or are they just there for fun?

Is shooting the tossing coin and flying bird just a points bonus or something else ?

Using light pen register reads?  The UMC chip certainly has the capability, but never tested.
