- Program by Richard Derocher
- Text by Dave Moorman
-
-
- Soon, those who live in the
- northern latitudes will be able to don
- snow suits, gloves, scarves, and ski
- masks and either knock over a local
- convenience store or get into a great
- snow ball war. At my age, by the time
- I have done all that donning, I'm
- ready for a hot totty and a good book
- by the fire.
-
- So, thanks to Richard Derocher,
- LOADSTAR offers you a real alternative
- to braving the winter wonderland. Snow
- Crazy lets you smack opponents with
- icey orbs for hours at a time --
- without any worry of frostbite or cold
- particles sliding down your neck.
-
- WARNING: This program will [not] in
- any way assist you in nefarious
- activities at your local convenience
- store. So don't even try!
-
- Richard sent me this great reflex
- game back in 2001 when we first took
- over the Tower. I tried it on my PC
- with VICE. It did not work. Later, as
- I got my C-64 equipment up and
- working, I gave the game a shot on the
- real stuff, and found it exciting and
- challenging. But the fact that it
- wouldn't work on VICE gave me pause.
-
- This is a game produced on Shoot
- 'Em Up Construction Kit, which is a
- great way to get a lot of action with
- a minimum of programming. Such
- compositions are an excellent way for
- novice game designers to try their
- hand at the art-form. I would like to
- see more!
-
- Alas, the game does not return to
- LOADSTAR. However, as I was putting on
- the Does Not Return boot, I happened
- to realize that I normally run VICE in
- PAL mode. I switched over to NTSC and
- Snow Crazy ran like a dream. A [cold]
- dream! So the problem is [not] VICE,
- it is PAL.
-
- PAL people -- we are sorry you
- won't get to play Snow Crazy. On the
- otherhand, many of your masterpieces
- jump and jitter on NTSC C-64s. So it
- works both ways.
-
- Thanks again to Richard for a
- great piece of software.

- PS -- I just got another SEUCK
- production from Josh and Richard. Be
- prepared for some more thumb-spraining
- fun -- Coming Soon!
