Who did Killer Games?
This 2001 release - Killer Games - has puzzled me ever since it's release. Obviously it's made by someone who knows his way around a C-64, that's for sure. Just check out the "fire" in the intro, the spritestretchers, the bordercode and the spriteball-effect in the namechoosing screen. He is credited as Beerlord, but that doesn't ring a bell to me.
I'm quite sure that its origin is swedish, to judge from the names found in the intro and the highscore (Umm... Thomas Q, Carl Bildt, Fredrik, Niklas, Kukdavid, etc.) and the greeting to Talon (old member of Paragon).
Some suspicions goes towards old members of Paragon, DCS or Rizing, Quan (who released games under fake-handles before) or just any old swedish scener who got himself a X-1541 cable from STA during the summer of 2001.
The reason why i'm really is interested in this production is because the music really is awesome. Can anybody identify the player? Can anybody give me a lead on this strange production? Swedes? |

The first time I saw this game was at the Out of Orderia party in 2001.. Somehow this tells me the makers are probably friends of the people attending or organizing there.. maybe that helps :) Also the game has this German or Scandinavian look to it..
/me is a lda clc adc coder, just for the record ;) |

Stryyker: Yup. CGKOTY = B5 - E6 NTSC frequency hi-bytes (as listed in the C64 programmers' reference guide). AEINRW = PAL equivalent.
Edit: My post above claimed that CGKOTY was a PAL indicator. Obviously, that's bollocks :) OTOH, it's not necessarily an NTSC indicator, since it's in the C64PRG. |

If it is NTSC I was thinking Wyndex but WVL's info makes that not right. |

Since I'm unable to edit my post, I'll correct myself here *spank*:
CGKOTY = C6 - F6 NTSC frequency hi-bytes (as listed in the C64 programmers' reference guide). AEINRW = PAL B5 - E6 frequency hi-bytes.
Nitpicking? Who, me?
It's probably still wrong... Caveat emptor and all that.

Looking in the code, I see one very weird thing that happens over and over..
he's doing :
clc
cmp #$xx
ofcourse the clc is completely unnecessary, so maybe this is a way to track the coder down :) |

cmp sets more than just the C bit :) |

is it compressed? I can imagine clc cmp to make sense then since its $c9 instead of $69 then. hum... iirc. |
