Minima Reloaded (again)
In 2001 I made a C64 game called Minima - a small role-playing game, sort of a Mini-Ultima. I managed to squeeze it under 2k, submitted it to the 2001 Minigame Competition, and won! In 2003 I bloated it up to almost 4k with some new features, and submitted it to the 2003 competition as Minima Reloaded, and won again.
The improvement most often requested was for joystick controls rather than the traditional Ultima style keyboard commands. The purist in me resisted, but now the time is right, so here it is: Minima Reloaded v1.1.
Use a joystick in port 2! And for those of you who aren't normally into C64 stuff, you can download an emulator such as VICE. Here's one that works in Windows. Install it, then run x64.exe. Go to Settings->Joysticks and choose something for port 2. Then click File->Autostart Disk/Tape image, choose minimareloaded.prg from where ever you saved it, and away you go!
I'm eager to hear your bug reports or comments here, on lemon64, or through email.
