Speed! (5)

So I got bored last weekend, and decided to track down and port an old Amiga game I used to enjoy. That game was "Speed!", which is a first-person racer - you try to run through a maze as fast as possible.

The port attempts to be extremely faithful to the original, to the point that I disassembled the original binary to find the exact movement code. The graphics and music are also pretty much untouched from the Amiga version, except for now having higher resolution and using OpenGL. The OpenGL rendering is horribly unoptimized because the world is so simple that most modern computers can render it without even trying to be clever.

I just threw the whole thing onto Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/speed-game/

There are versions for Mac OS X and Windows available, and the code should build on Linux, too, and possibly on other systems that are supported by SDL. I'd love to hear about what you've gotten it running on.

If I get bored again, I might try to make a Nintendo DS port, or to make an actual modernized version. We'll see!
