My all time favorite pc game, and i'd LOVE to see it on my zune. It's a REALLY trippy, addicting, chaotic(of course), asteroids-esque shooter. This would be beyond a dream come true. If you havn't played it PLEASE
dl it it's really small(amazingly it's only a 303kb
dl) He even says himself "If your PC can't play this game, then it must run on clockwork" lol So I actually don't think the zune would have an ounce of trouble running this game, with a good coder of course. Soo, I've thought about contacting McLeod and seeing if he'd be intrested in making it himself but don't really know what to say. Anyone have any ideas on how we should go about this? His contact info is right on the games site

Imagine a world where instead of using his experiences with LSD to become an evangelist of therapeutic psychadelia, Timothy Leary had instead opted to learn assembler and program low-budget shmups for pc-download. For those unable to afford even the smallest portion of crack, Spheres of Chaos will dilate the pupil of your third eye and give you change from a fiver.
This is no usual Asteriods family member, SoC is the difficult nephew. The one with all the good albums who stayed out late and got that girl into trouble back in school. Those particle effects? You can recognise the family traits as being present and correct, but somewhere in the past you can see some Minter has entered the bloodline.
You're going to be glad very soon that SoC doesn't really vacate from the Asteroids paradigm, because whilst the basic game is in the same world - visually, this has vacated the previous galaxy. This is the anti-asteroids. Whereas Logg drew his space pure, flat and black - exquisitely cut with bright white - McLeod gives you all the colours. All at once. And then he cycles them.
