Hi all. Well, I'm writing this to tell you all about a great new CoCo3 arcade game up there and where it can be found in the U.S. Bob DeVries was kind enough to send me the game, called "Cosmic Ambush" via internet from Australia. Anyway, it's one impressive game if you haven't seen it. It's shareware, from Rupert Rhythm author Nickolas Martenes. I've been asked by a fellow CoCo owner to post to this listserv the BBSs I've placed it on. Please call one of those boards to download it... it's really worth it. Great game for your 128k CoCo3... hard has heck,and very addictive. WOnderful GIME-hardware-scrolling, and very very difficult. BTW, so far, my high score is 15,420... not too shabby, I hope! Well, the game is called "Cosmic Ambush" and I've uploaded it to the following boards as "CAMBUSH/ARC" Just use TC3 or similar program to unARC it. Available on: Color Galaxy Andromeda 714-545-5156 Cassis Corners 714-842-0116 ACBBS 404-636-2991 Jims CoCo Corner 313-292-4713 A NJ BBS w/lots of CoCo files: 908-272-2073 CoCo Users Group 310-420-7632 ---------- Also, please can someone help me with my questions about how to get that 320x225 size (or 640x225 size) from BASIC? Only one person responded so far, and sent me one poke (POKE &HFF99,&H7E) but while that gives extra height to the screen, I can't seem to access that extra height (it's just garbage bars at the bottom, and normal commands like HCLS or HLINE won't go past the normal 192). What are the other pokes needed, or a routine I can call from BASIC? Please help me if you can!! Please respond via email as I'm not a regular reader of the listserv to my email address: lgreenf@caticsuf.csufresno.edu And enjoy Cambush/Arc! :::::Larry:::::
