Easter eggs with calculators inside?

I love these graphics and it looks quite fast too in overall. It's very megaman/metroid-ish style. It's great what we can do with just text. On top of that, it loads quite fast for BASIC.

I was inspired a lot from Metroid PI.  It also uses duel layer text sprites, although it wasn't the offset type.  I've done some searching, and it seems that nobody has ever made seamless duel layer text graphics before!  I just hope i can get in more than just part 1 in time for the contest, as it is kind of rpg-ish, and so takes a while to make :P

yeah, i myself only ever tried once, but it didn't turned out right, you really need to trial and error during hours to find good sprite combination

So, when do backups not work?  When you accidentally delete them! :D ... :'(

It wasn't the backups for the game, so its better than it could be, but it will take some time to replace them.  I had a 50*10 text sprite image for the main screen.  Along with the entire opening cut scene.  I wrote down the dialogue, so thats not a problem, but I have to redesign the pirate ship and rewrite the dialogue text subpogram...

'sigh'

On a happier note, i will be getting some screenshots up soon of the fantastically puzzling crate system that is now in place.

That sucks, but at least you didn't lose the game.  I have a separate folder named "xxBackups" (xx is the project name), and then each backup has it's own folder, which has the date/time in its name.

This sucks when you lose stuff x.x

One thing that sucks even more is when you realize your recent backups are gone and that you're stuck with old ones. Even worse: when the recent backups are corrupted (maybe viruses and stuff) x.x
