Meteor Swarm (NES)

Meteor Swarm was one of the very first games I wrote in Z80 assembly language for the original Spectravideo. Later I ported it to the MSX range of machines, both of these versions were released on cassette tape. Whilst programming the Game On Expo Championship cartridge, I added a basic port of the game as the third mini-game. It was ported as is i.e. did not really take advantage of any of the NES's particular features. So I decided to make an enhanced version of the game, that better utilised the NES capabilities, some of the enhancements include: - two play modes: hyperspace or shield - more graduated difficulty level - enhanced use of colour - additional enemy with the exploding mine
