Top Banana was a zany platform computer game with strange parallax scrolling which was important because without it, the foreground would not have stood out from the background. The heroine, KT, made her way through psychodelic platforms, throwing hearts to disable enemies. It was produced by Hex/Psycore for the Acorn Archimedes in 1991, ported to the Amiga in 1992. The chief artist and coder was Miles Visman, with supporting graphics and sound by Karel Dander, and supporting graphics by Sophie Smith. Image File history File links Topban. ...
