Thanks! I’m happy the feedback has been so positive!

Here's a youtube video from saberman:

I haven't yet tried the game myself but it looks absolutely fabulous!

Really excellent work, looks good on the Vic and the coloured sprite(s) look especially great (and would have been a pain to implement, no doubt!).

Haven't played yet but just watched the YouTube video and can see it is a very faithful port.

Playthrough in yt makes me feel a complete loser

Haha! It takes a while to get used to the delayed flight response.

Great work This version is very playable.

This is fantastic, I'm enjoying playing it very much! Thank you!

Thank you! I’m glad to hear that!

My recognition. Professional, extreme code. Thanks.

Thanks a lot!

Here are some POKEs for H.E.R.O.:

>26DD A9 ► infinite dynamite
>5F37 A9 ► infinite time
>6011 A9 ► infinite lives

Enter these in the VICE monitor after the intro, while the game is in demo mode.

On real hardware:

LOAD"HERO",8

POKE8641,34:POKE8642,253:RUN

After the intro, you will end up in the BASIC start-up message once again, but H.E.R.O. has now been decompressed.

Enter the POKEs above like thus:

POKE 9949,169 (dynamite)
POKE 24375,169 (time)
POKE 24593,169 (lives)

... and (re-)start the game with SYS 7424

Excellent Mike, those cheat pokes really bring me back to the Eighties, when a couple of pages where regularly dedicated to cheating modes in every magazine
