Re: Star Wars Scroller Routine
Bloody brilliant!
During the early 90s I remember seeing an Atari ST demo in a shop performing the opening Star Wars scroller and wondered how it was done.
Now it's on the Spectrum....
Thank you indeed.

Re: Laser squad a.i.
Many many years ago I wrote a map editor for Laser Squad mainly for editing the moonbase level.
