Title: ZAPM 0.8.1 beta (sci-fi theme)
Post by: eit_cyrus on January 05, 2010, 07:05:37 PM
Hello all,

I've been working on ZAPM again after 5 years, and am getting close to a feature freeze for the next version.  I'm releasing a beta for you brave bleeding edge types.  Please post or email me feedback and bug reports!

New in 0.8:
Linux and Mac binaries are available at http://zapm.org (http://zapm.org).

Zappy New Year!

Wow, I have played (and won) that 5 years ago ;) It's great that you revive it.

Woo hoo!  ALWAYS great to see a resurrection project!  Best of luck continuing progress on this.   ;D

Thanks.  I just made some further edits.  (Hope it's not against rules or convention to edit your own game's page!)

Nope, in fact it is generally a great idea to keep tabs on it as things get hopping!   8)

Man I love this game. I just executed a buggy floppy disk of spam:

Thank you for your order.  Please wait 4-6 orbit cycles for delivery.


The entire game is really brilliant; e.g. I got pregnant from an alien facehugger but could get rid of the embryo by drinking something toxic. The bionic implants are very cool, too.
