Pyxidis

Strange name but still a cool game! A vertically scrolling shooter, with ground and air based shooting, multi-colour sprite use, challenge stages, power ups and end of stage bosses.  To get this one to fit in the SVI-318's 16k of RAM (12k practically available), I had to make the 3rd level a little shorter than I had originally designed and drop the music that I had created (probably a good thing - music is definitely NOT my strong point).

Quasimodo
