I'm sorry but having no sound or music is a big turnoff.
Reviews for "Ascii Patrol"

Hey, please move volume sliders in control panel, hope it helps.
Control panel is located below hi-scores, alternatively you can make game full-screen (ALT+Enter) in order to see it without scrolling.
I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear enough in comments.
What an outstanding job! Thank you for bringing me back to the C64 era (I played this game on the old Commodore).
You nailed everything...the vehicle breaking down, the wheels flying away...fantastic!
A question: what is the name of the original (arcade?) game? I want to play it again in a C64 emulator :)
gumix responds:
Moon Patrol :) hahaha
In my opinion, C64 version was the most crappy clone, try playing original arcade in MAME or even online:

Thanks :)
this is unbelievably well made for an ascii game! I'm a huge fan of these ascii games and Im currently trying to make an ASCII game maker in C++ for windows, so I have some idea how hard and time consuming this was
Pretty impressive for an Ascii game! Good story and graphics, it does feel like a retro game :) It must have taken a lot of time to make it.
I have to say that this is a very neat idea. I'd love to see you remake other classic arcade games like this.

Thank you! This one was my fav arcade, I can remember my friends were looking at my fascination quite suspiciously :P haha, old good times.
