New game uploaded: Where's Bernie?

CX16 SHMUP engine I am working on

Hi, Here's a video that shows the relatively early Shoot 'Em Up Engine I am building for the CX16.  In the engine, enemies are scripted, and the enemies are active objects with program counters, stack pointers, local memory, etc. all in a cooperative multi-tasking environment.  There's still quite ...
