V9990 Robot-Demo

Demo File: For executing extract files on a CPC floppy or upload it on the M4 board and change directory into the DSK container (|CD,"ROBOT.DSK").

Run file "ROBOT.BIN" and wait some time. At least a running robot through a forest will be shown.

You should be able to move (left, right, jump up) the robot via cursor keys and fire a bullet with space.

(there might be some DSK files around where you can't find the "ROBOT.BIN" file. The DSK container attached is a version made by @Geco.

In the case you don't have it you nevertheless can run the demo by executing the files in following 10 order:

  1. run"clear >
  2. run"a1 >
  3. run"a2 >
  4. run"a3 >
  5. run"b1 >
  6. run"b2 >
  7. run"b3 >
  8. run"c1 >
  9. run"c2 >
  10. run"c3 >
  11. run"robo)
