[TREASURE COVE now available for sale - Check it out!]

Well, because of the age of the Bally system, I never expected to see Treasure Cove re-released. But it is very cool that it has been.

 

I love the color label for the cartridge. A very nice touch.

 

Even though I programmed the game, I was never able to get through all the levels (it gets pretty crazy in the higher levels).

 

I hope folks enjoy playing Treasure Cove.

In case anyone doesn't make the connection with the AtariAge username, "Bilbrey," Brett is the programmer of Treasure Cove. I asked him to come take a peek at this thread. Thanks for dropping by, Brett! If you happen to get some time in the next few weeks, then play along with us on real hardware or in MAME. Maybe you'll be able to make it to the end of your game after all these years. There wouldn't be any cheats built into the game, would there?

I did not design in any cheats to Treasure Cove. I was too busy understanding drawing lots of colors, three tone music, and flicker free animation.

 

When we were developing Treasure Cove, the 8 year old girl next door could get all the way to the end of the game. So I figured it was too easy. Yet I was never able to get to the last level... In fact, I missed by a few levels...

 

But I do know that it can be done. You just need to play like an 8 year old!

Good luck to everyone on the Treasure Cove competition.

I myself never got all the way to the last level. I'm looking forward to seeing who does.
