Limes & Napoleon is a computer game by the German game developer Andreas Mettler from 1989. The game was distributed by EAS Software . Limes & Napoleon was developed for the Commodore 64 and converted for the Amiga and Atari ST systems .
description
The game is defined as a duel between two robots named “Limes” and “Napoleon”. In the middle of the playing field is the "Glitstar", an animated star that is to be promoted into the opposing goal. This can be picked up via the trunk of the robot and "blown out" again at the desired position on the playing field. Each robot has the opportunity to transform itself into a ball and tear the opponent off his feet.
Systems and version differences
The game was released in 1989 for the Commodore 64, Amiga and Atari ST systems. As the developer of the C64 version, Andreas Mettler was responsible for the programming, the graphics and the music. The Amiga and Atari conversions were programmed by Markus Gietzen, the graphics were created by Martin Mettel and Ihsan Topaloglu and the music was composed by Hans Hermann Franck. The graphics of the Amiga and Atari versions differ considerably from those of the C64 version; the 16-bit versions also have differences in the structure of the scenarios. The game was published again in 2005 in the C64 Classix collection by Thomas Steiding on CD-ROM .
Special features and technology
The game focuses on the duel in two-player mode, but can also be played alone against a computer opponent. The game is presented in a split-screen concept. The actions of both characters are shown separately in an independent area of the field of view. Both halves of the game scroll independently of each other. This was realized through the use of the Commodore-64-specific raster line interrupt .
There are ten scenarios to choose from for the game, which accentuate various specials such as accelerators, barriers, gate changers and elevators. All scenarios are fully available at the beginning of the game. In two-player mode, each player selects a scenario; in single-player mode, the player has the choice of both playing fields. Each scenario is played over three minutes. The winner of the duel is whoever scores the most goals.
