Explorer

A first release of this game was written in Basic in far 1989, entitled Space Chase. It was an attempt to program a vertical version of Scramble, which is still my favourite arcade game, and essentially inspired by Caverns of Mars for the Atari 800/XL/XE computers.

The title was taken from the popular italian clone of the original arcade game (back in the day I thought the original title was Explorer instead of Scramble).
 
In 2015 the code was totally rewritten and compiled with Boriel’s ZX BASIC, revisiting the graphics and bringing a longer professional look. Three years later, a physical cassette release was published by George Cropper‘s Bumfun Gaming.
