Ultimate Play the Game released many incredible titles in the 80's, games such as Knightlore, Jetpac, Sabre Wulf and Gunfright to name but a few. But today's news is something of a special announcement for fans of Ultimate Play the Game, as their top down arcade adventure game ' Atic Atac ' released in 83, is being remade but this time as an unofficial free isometric game, taking it back to the true roots of many of Ultimate Play the Game's titles of the 80's!
Pixels plucked from the Speccy palette. Neatly arranged by @hot_piping in such a way that they look rather swish... @hot_piping #aticatac #zxspectrum #gamedev #monogame #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/Zh66UY5Lav— Richard Jordan (@EricRetro) September 1, 2018
First shown off some time ago in a tweet related to an isometric engine by Richard Jordan, Atic Atac has since flurished into more than just a sunday afternoon screenshot. As he has also mentioned pixels had been plucked from the ZX Spectrum palette and re-arranged by Craig Stevenson to really stand out as a much higher quality isometric game, as if Ultimate Play the Game had redsigned the game themselves. Sadly for those of you wanting to play the game right now will have to wait, as it's still in very early stages and the same art creator Craig Stevenson has revealed it needs planning and he is still producing the graphics.
So watch this space..
