[Why is the Vic 20 so hard to program for?]

was machine language even necessary for the plus 4 or PET? the graphics keys are right there and basic 3.5 eliminates most problems. even the 128 is an improvement (unless you are programming the graphics chip)

One of those days I'll have to check it out. Perhaps it doesn't like running off my IDE interface and would work better booting from a floppy disk.

i meant # not $

i wonder why some commands need a $ symbol. sees like an extra headach

[Why is the Vic 20 so hard to program for?]

well, i am using Twine in that regard, sadly i have to paste most of the dialogue for each option and with bioshock...not possible.

FINE! Action 52, except it's stuck on ooze and you need to beat level 4 to get into heaven

Hell, for me, would be an NES with Rocket Ranger, a case of PBR, and nothing but HGTV on TV.

[Alien Isolation Parody]

You are on Sevastopol and have decided to explore the area. As is usual of the series, there are dark corridors everywhere and broken machinery. You make a note of this so you can report seegson to OSHA after you leave.
about halfway through, you meet a survivor named Axel and he is in the process of leading you to a freight elevator when a band of very dangerous people show up. You can either shoot them or flee

 

shoot them:

 

This is reality, idiot. You are met with a hail of gunfire as your cover gets gradually shredded away. eventually, a stray bullet finds you and you die.

 

flee:

 

You haul ass and head for the nearest room. You unlock the door that has been sealed and save Axel from a clearly unhinged man. Normally, both of them would need therapy and counseling in addition to psychiatric Evaluations but sadly, he is shot before you can speak a word.

 

border patrol (the incident before the court case)

 

While Alien isolation is a great game, Axel made a very Very, stupid move.
Before the next scene even starts, the Alien breaks down the door, bumrushes axel and tears him to shreds. The alien is then deleted from the game and sent back to it's original area, leaving a very dead, very much torn apart carcass. what do you do?

 

complain to the developer:

 

 

You decide to use the Commodore PET computer and go online, submitting a complaint to Creative Assembly. Said complaint ends up getting on facebook and spreads to the rest of the web. Within days, their sales plummet and all their stocks are destroyed. The lead designer admonishes you on your rash actions but also lets loose a profanity laced tirade against the xeno.

His screams could be heard for days as the xeno, not used to taking criticism, tore him apart

 

Sue xenomorph for murder:

The Xenomorph asks for a translator and continually states that he acted within the game's boundaries, never once breaking scripting. You have 2 golden opportunities to refute this. which do you use?

 

summon Cthulhu: (ending A)

You read up on black magic and perform the ritual. Hours pass. Finally, the judge calls a recess and tells you that outside forces, demonic or otherwise cannot be called to the stand regardless of their stance, because they're very judgment would unbalance reality itself. When Cthulhu does appear, everyone, including the Xenomorph, which is now praying to god for dear life, is wiped out. Case closed, for eternity. I hope you are happy!

 

call Samuels and Taylor to the stand (ending B)

Samuels takes the stand and along with Taylor, goes over the case history, citing Weyland Yutani's greed and desire to capture a Xenomorph. The Xenomorph tried again and again to object but the judge overruled it.
Taylor talked at length about the Company's Special Order 191 and Sevastopol's Special Order 939, how W-Y had listed them as expendable and
still allowed the mission despite the risks. All eyes turned towards the Xenomorph, who could only protest that the very idea was absurd, that it had been raised to follow it's own path and was horrified at what W-Y had done. It begged the court to let it live. The Xenomorph was denied it's request and shot to death by Colonial Marines.

 

I was originally going to go with Raised catholic but decided it would be funnier if the xeno was a loner

i did not know that it could not be accessed from AtariAge. My goal was to simplify my attempt to make a text adventure using Twine. I'm sorry if you can't access it. Honest mistake. you were supposed to see this:http://twinery.org/2/#!/stories/fc3528eb-6d60-4487-9b1b-6cbc84c7cc4b/play

[Commodore plus 4 Error]

Then you've typed it in wrong. I literally just typed it into the Plus/4 emulator and it worked.

i just said that i got it to work. i figured out the problem thanks to carlsson and rectified it

[Commodore plus 4 Error]

Note that it really should be BOX, as the comma is not a typo, it just omits a parameter to default colour.

 

i didn't notice the comma before the rest. thank you for your help. as to why it is so slow in vice 3.2, i have no clue

[Commodore plus 4 Error]

I typed page 18 as stated and got an illegal quantity error in 40. Before you accuse me of trolling, understand that i have checked everything that might've caused the issue. If you want, i can upload a recording but i don't think that will be necessary

[Commodore plus 4 Error]

If you are talking about the 5 line example program in this book on page 18 - it works as written.

If not, you'll need to be more specific about which manual you are looking at.

the manual you just linked to. I keep getting an illegal quantity error

For playing on modern hardware I use DosBox. Or another form of virtualization.

I use Zdoom and either do Brutal doom or ALiens (of which i am still trying to track down, it's old but good

[Commodore plus 4 Error]

I was browsing through the Plus 4 reference manual (page 18) and tried the graphics example and i have 2 questions:

 

1. I get errors in 40, 50 and sometimes 30 about illegal quantities, despite the fact that i am entering it as written

 

2. Why does the Plus 4 get so much hate? i believe that it is a decent attempt. The Basic is much improved for starters.

Do you really need to ask ? I believe I'm not the only one who really wonders if you are knowingly trolling or legitimately mentally challenged. Based on your posts it must be one or the other. If you really are legitimately mentally challenged I don't mean to sound cruel, I have some autistic qualities, but this forum may not be the best place for your style of posting. Your previous posts here and other threads at this form have likely caused others at this forum to ignore you.

I am not trolling, however, if that is the general consensus than i will try to change. I signed up to learn and share knowledge, not to troll. I deeply apologize

[Why does Alien Isolation suck so bad]

Now, i'm going to get comments ranging from get good to you are not playing it right. Well, I'm currently on hard mode, in the spaceflight terminal. I keep getting murdered, or ambushed by vents and it really hurts that the developers made you go across the hall twice, as if the level wasn't hard enough. This is why i detest achievements for harder difficulties, it's not worth it and it ruins the replay value for me. I wish Microsoft had made them optional.

 

To be fair, i enjoy the alien series, just saw covenant (can't unsee it, with the idiocy of some of the cast be particularly bad) but this game is just...i give up. I'll play Colonial marines or AVP, at least i get to murder the object of my aggression.
