This week has been filled with news, leaving me overwhelmed and in need of a writer’s break. Before I take that break, I wanted to highlight the addictive yet simple game ‘King and Balloon’ by RMJ & JoeJoe. This game is a 1:1 arcade port of Namco’s 1980 game for the Commodore Amiga, written in 68k assembler and based on the original Z80 code. Along with this announcement, we have a new game screenshot and gameplay footage available.
NO SOUND NEW VIDEO SOON
According to Wikipedia, in ‘King and Balloon’, the player controls two green men with an orange cannon on the parapet of a castle, firing at hot-air balloons. The goal is to prevent the balloons from carrying off the King. The game features original artwork, sound effects, and gameplay, including bugs. A trainer is included for players, and the game involves controlling a crossbowman to attack balloons. Balloons attack in squadrons, and once a squadron is defeated, a faster one appears. The audio and video coincide when the King yells “help”.
