(Anonymous) (Unknown) 13th Mar 2013 06:15Here's an interesting bit of trivia from the Commodore 64 instruction manual:
A NOTE FROM THE PROGRAMMERS:
Dear Game Player,
During our Herculean task of cramming as many as possible of the multitude of animation and graphic elements that make up the arcade game into the Commodore 64, we were faced with a problem. To get both one- and two-player options, and to achieve the authentic feel of two-player simultaneous action, simply took more memory than we had available.
But we knew how dissapointed you would be if the game didn't have the same two-player mode as the arcade game you know and love. So we came up with a memory-saving solution. We implemented sprite stacking techniques to create the animated characters (using two smaller sprites instead of one larger one to create each figure).
The resulting small gap you may notice in the characters at waist level, is the compromise that the architecture of the C64 forced us to make.
This should not impair your enjoyment of the game in any way.
