In a way is a *demake* (of World Changers) *of a remake* (of Cabal, Contra, and OutRun) *of a demake* (of Gears Of War).\n\n## Story\n\nThe world is not *right* and that's not good! Try to change it as it should be using the most effective tools humanity invented - according to *the best people* in history!\n\nTake down enemy soldiers and huge tanks, collect diamonds and bring *peace* to Earth once and for all... or (most probably) die trying!\n\n## Gameplay \u0026 Controls\n\n   - Hit F or click/touch the game display to fullscreen the game\n   - Use the arrow keys or click/touch the arrow controls to move your soldier\n   - Hit Z/Y/Q or click/touch the FIRE button to fire\n   - Hit X/J/V/S or click/touch the RELOAD button\n     - Hit the RELOAD button again when the arrows are aligned with the top of the bar for a perfect reload!\n   - Eliminate the required amount of enemies in time or... game over!\n   - You can hide behind the walls on the bottom of the screen...\n   - ...but enemies can do the same with the walls far from you!\n   - Don't forget to collect the diamonds!\n\n## Why? A Christmas story.\n\nWhen I was a kid my father was a huge home computer fan and, when I asked for a gaming console, he used to answer *\"Why do we need a console if we have a system that does more?\"*. But there was a [SEGA Genesis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Genesis) (the SEGA Megadrive here in Italy) game I had seen at my friend's home that blew my mind and I was super-sure that would never be on our [Commodore 64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64): [Sonic the Hedgehog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog).\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"margin:60px 0\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"markdown/sonic.png\"\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSonic the Hedgehog for the SEGA Genesis\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\nI was so into that game that I kept stressing my parents about Sonic every week. One day, around Christmas, I managed to convince them to buy me _something to play Sonic_ that was cheap enough to _justify the purchase_ in some way. Unsurprisingly, It was the infamous [Tiger Electronics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Electronics) adaptation of the game.\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"margin:60px 0\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"markdown/sonictiger.png\"\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTiger Electronics Sonic the Hedgehog adaptation\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\nThe game was _quite bad_: the crisp colorful graphics were gone, the sense of speed was missing, and the great music and sound effects were just bleeps and bloops... but still _I loved that game_. Maybe at that time, I had enough creativity to see the little traces of _Sonic_ that were in that game. Maybe I had learned to enjoy what I had without asking for more.\n\nBut now, as an adult, I've to admit that porting _anything of Sonic_ into a tiny LCD game has probably been a _desperate mission_ for the Tiger Electronics programmers and engineers.\n\nSo, this Christmas, I want to pay a little tribute to all those who try despite the limits, despite the results, and despite everything. I want to go down the _desperate_ creation process of injecting a little of another game into an LCD game - even if I'm well aware that's way easier to make a simulator in 2022 than the real thing in 1991. So I've chosen **World Changers**...\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"margin:60px 0\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"markdown/wc.png\"\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe original World Changers\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n... distilled its key features to the paper mockup...\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"margin:60px 0\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"markdown/paper.png\"\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe LCD Game World Changers mockup on paper\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n... scanned it to make the vector image of the LCD...\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"margin:60px 0\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"markdown/display.png\"\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe LCD Game World Changers display\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n... and coding this game. It has been a nice trip! Thank you for reading this far and, if it suits for these days, Merry Christmas!\n\n## Credits\n\n### Thanks\n\n  - [Bianca Brenna](http://www.linearkey.net/)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkesiev%2Flcdgame","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fkesiev%2Flcdgame","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fkesiev%2Flcdgame/lists"}
