Wow, a very playable Bullfrog clone. Well made!!

rbelk · 29 October 2007, 22:19

When I get home tonight I'll try it and give a quick review. Looks very interesting..

Yeah and the music sounds good too.

Graham Humphrey · 29 October 2007, 23:27

Indeed, that does look rather good.

s2335! You made a great find. I have a deep appreciation for coders who push old hardware to new heights. This is a wonderful little game. I could find hours of enjoyment in something like this as opposed to the garbage spewed out nowadays for current hardware.

I would carve this in stone!!!

For me playability is only OK. It's like old Jump!, but in pseudo 3D. I want Stardust tunnel levels on that engine

DrF · 30 October 2007, 10:05

That looks rather nice, I like the music, I guess its emulator time

@S2325

They list jump in there development page, as a inspiration.

If you want Atari game with great playability and good graphics try Fatal Game: http://atari.fandal.cz/detail.php?files_id=4810 (I know it looks like Total Recall rip-off, but it's better)

mcbpete · 30 October 2007, 21:56

It's cool that the bouncing of the ball is in sync with the music. Really nice touch.

The only exception is the wonderful but fast fading Gameboy Advance

Pretty amazing for an 8 bit.

YoJoe! · 02 November 2007, 04:34

I want an Amiga version!

rbelk · 02 November 2007, 04:58

I finally got a chance to try it out on atari800win+ and it's fantastic, played for about an hour. There were some minor issues though. This weekend I will dig out my Atari 130XE from the closet and see if it runs better, and also try it out with the atari++ emulator. For Atari buffs, it is worth the download...

blade002 · 02 November 2007, 05:22

Thats certainly one impressive piece of coding!. Looks absolutely brilliant

Like Fred the Duck said, pushing the old hardware is a sight to behold, and thats what i loved about the C64 & Amiga over the years... 1989, wow great graphics, 1990 .. woah WTF, how can the Amiga do this!.. 1991 .. ARCADE quality .. 1992 .. they said i couldn't be done and my Amiga is doing it.. etc...

rsn8887 · 02 November 2007, 18:08

Wow, thanks for the info!
Awesome game, didn't know the Atari could do this kind of stuff. Need to emulate it asap...
