Nostalgia for Missile Command
About
An "Indie Game Dev Beginners gamejam #002" submission.
The theme was "Nostalgia". One of the reasons this game is nostalgic for me, is an event that happened in high school (early 80's):
A friend of mine had a birthday party sleepover. I stayed up all night playing Missile Command on his Atari 2600, even after everyone else went to bed. I played so long, and so intently that after I finally went home and lay down to sleep, Missile Command was so burnt into my eyes and brain that it played on my closed eyelids.I apologize for the lack of sound but I couldn't find any good sound files that I knew I could legally use. (iow, I could find good sound files, just not legal for me to use this way.) I didn't make my own or use generic sound files as I found wrong sounds more jaring to the nostalgia-trip than no sound.
I made everything but the font. That was created by 'Cody "CodeMan38" Boisclair' and used under the "SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1".
I used DragonRuby 4.0, gVim 8.2, and Gimp 2.10.32 to create the game.
