+Cafeman Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I am investigating the details of porting Adventure II from 5200 to an A8 cart. Doing this will require Bryan's special board so that I won't need to reprogram the game in a bank switched version. But I need to know if there is any interest at all in anyone purchasing an Adventure II cart (probably with manual, and maybe a box too if they don't sell out on 5200 side) for the Atari 8bit computer line. If I get very few people interested, I don't know that it'd be worth the effort. So this is a call out to gauge interest. If I get little interest, I might just port the game to a disk image for the A8 which is a bit easier. Adventure II 8bit cart won't run on the Atari400 or on non-32K RAM machines, according to Bryan (maybe you can clarify that). Lemme know!

accousticguitar Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I would be interested in a cart. By "disc image" do you mean an atr image that would work with the APE emulator? If so, would that be cheaper than a cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjb Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'm interested in purchasing an 8-bit cart or file version. Basically I'd buy it in any form you choose to distribute it in. tjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastRobPlus Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'll buy a boxed A8 homebrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaGtGruff Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'd be interested in an XE-compatible cartridge. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Same here! An ATR would be nice too. (Bought the 5200 already) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) I would be happer with a disc image, cartridges are nice, but I find that I play more disc games on sio2pc and what not than anything else. as long as it works on an 800 I'm fine.

The Eidolon Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I would buy it on cart for my 800 if it does come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miker Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Why cart only? ATR/XEX are more usable (just as Atari-Jess mentioned above). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.atarimania.com Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Disk image. BTW, I played the demo version and enjoyed it but found the intro screen with standard Atari font pretty ugly. If a port does appear, I really hope this part is rewritten to 2007 standards -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not priced at USD 100, but sub 40 somewhere. And box and manual, that would rule! I'd pay for an ATR too, but not the same amount as a cart of course!

Heaven/TQA Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 miker... simply because carts are "real" while ATR are "virtual"... i would vote for Cart or 5,25 disc... a 5,25 release is dream of mine for beyond evil anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrobits Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I would buy a cart if it works on the 800. Looks like a great game... -retrobits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I actually find that cartridges are more convenient. That way I don't have to fire up the pc, start APE, and load the image. Either one would work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I'd gladly buy an Adventure II cartridge (probably two, in fact). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I like to see a release as atr, because i can put it on a real floppy disk, my real CF card and read it with my real 1001 into my real 1250XLD For those who like (and can afford the shipping) you can release the disk in a nice retail box. But go for the cart, anyway, if you like. You can release the rom file, too (perhaps later). One might want put it on their (real, too) Maxflash carts or S/XEGS Ramcart.

Goochman Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Yes - any format Cart and manual are all that I require if it would keep costs down - not much of a box collector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
