You can already preorder it on TAS, US $84.99 + $5.00 for shipping. Who takes the challenge and writes an HP-41 version in MCODE?

I wrote a version for the CASIO FX-602P. It didn't speed up but otherwise was a reasonable copy.

Do you still have a copy of that program?

I don't know. I've lost several books of calculator programs I've written over the years.
The game is simple -- the numbers advance from right to left. The player's controls are increment their digit and fire. Firing removes the first matching digit. The speed increases are the only challenge and even then it reset to slow once the fastest is reached & passed.

Sweet, for only 2,000 Yen, I'd order one from Amazon Japan if they'll ship to the US.

There is also an accumulator that adds your fired digits and when the modulus is zero, a "flying saucer" (denoted by a small case 'n') will appear for extra points. It's supposed to mimic the space invader game where there are flying saucer coming out every now and then.
It was extremely popular in Asia back then. I recall the receptionist in out office plays w/ it all day when there was no internet for her to kill time.

nice idea. Did someone port it in RPL?

There is a pretty good space invaders clone for the HP48 I think was called VADERS. It was a pretty amazing game for a pocket calculator. Beware though, I think I killed a keyboard back in the 90s playing it. You can download it HERE
