Fire Gear is an action-packed shoot'em up ported from the ZX-Spectrum created in about two weeks.
It features a left-down shooter engine and utilizes dynamic tile refresh technology. The background comprises 256 sprites, 16x16 pixels each, with 1024 tiles in Video RAM, but only 256 are used at a time. Graphics are managed using separate tiles banks for background and objects/font. It also uses a custom music engine based on the ZX-Spectrum AY-player.
The game was entered into Bung's 2nd Amateur GameboyTM Format Games Coding Competition and won 3rd place.
