astroblast win64_v0.6.0

Windows v0.6.0 release

This release includes a C64 emulator for Windows 64 bit platforms. This is the probably the release to get if you just want to try the game out and/or don't have a C64 or emulator available.

Install

1. Download the astroblast.zip asset from this release
2. Unzip astroblast.zip anywhere on your Windows computer.

Run

1. Find the unzipped astroblast directory.

General

Press F1 for help at title screen.
The game is a two player game and needs to use both C64 joystick ports. The emulator is pre-configured to use the keyboard for both joysticks which is ok to see how it works, but this may not be a reasonable way play since sharing a keyboard with two players is not optimal. If you have physical joysticks you will want to configure them in VICE via the Settings -> Input Devices menu option.

The preconfigured joystick keyboard mapping is:
joystick 1 (top ship)

• a: left
• d: right
• w: up
• s: down
• Left control: fire

joystick 2 (bottom ship)

• left arrow: left
• right arrow: right
• up arrow: up
• down arrow: down
• right control: fire

Release Notes

• Added single player mode and adjusted the start screen to fit the option
