Xela

Overview

If you thought Gorf was bad, meet Bad Gorf. Inspired by my new-found hatred for Gorf, I'm programming the worst version of Gorf ever programmed. Yes, that's its name. Bad Gorf. I want people to know that this version is terrible. In between levels 1 and 2, I'm going to add a falling spaceship level (like level 3 in actual Gorf, but instead of going a circular pattern, they drop down at a fantastic pace.)

I've decided to change the name of Bad Gorf to Xela. Why Xela? The name of the programmer of Gorf is Alex (according to AtariAge), so I thought, what is that backwards? Xela. It starts with X, which makes it sound like some alien species, which is a plus. I've always had a kind of fascination with games or words that start with X. It must be because there aren't very many of them. For the NES, I have a CIB Xevious and a loose Xexyz. I'm still looking for Xenophobe. Well, anyway, if someone can come up with a better title, please tell me. And if someone can come up with a better looking spaceship, please give me a drawing of it. I've tried on my own and I can't come up with anything.
