History:

Land Maker (c) 1998 Taito.


The objective of this game is to shoot a certain colored block to other blocks of the same color to create a building. The larger the building the greater damage that is done to the player's opponent which in effect speeds up the moving counter which pushes the blocks ever closer to the edge after which the player or opponent will lose the battle.

- 26th July 2008: Mr. Do - Funny story. Tormod sent me a BUNCH of instruction cards a long time ago. You've probably been seeing them added in every so often. Well, around July of last year, I had completed a whole bunch of them, but then had a computer crash, and they ended up on the "spare" hard drive by mistake. I found them again going through a cleanup. So thanks to Tormod, this week we have Land Maker.

- 0.105u1: Changed description of 'Land Maker (Japan)' to 'Land Maker (Ver 2.01J 1998/06/01)' and clone 'Land Maker (World Prototype)' to 'Land Maker (Ver 2.02O 1998/06/02) (Prototype)'.

- 0.88u6: Fixed sound loading in clone Land Maker (World Prototype).

- 0.88: Fixed Landmaker sound loading (thanks to Mame32Plus).

- 0.71u2: David Haywood fixed loading of Landmaker (prototype).

- 0.71u1: Bryan McPhail added clone Land Maker (World Prototype).

- 8th July 2003: Bryan McPhail added the Landmaker prototype to the Taito F3 driver, but it's missing some sprites.

- 20th June 2003: Guru - Landmaker (test/prototype version not using an F3 mainboard) arrived from Taucher.

- 0.67: Changed description to 'Land Maker (Japan)'.

- 0.37b15: Bryan McPhail added Landmaker (Japan) (Taito 1998).
