fuji8bit Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Cafeman -- Count me in on the Disk Image. I already bought the 5200 Cart limited edition and don't have a 5200 to play it on I'll gladly buy the disk image, but I'd go for a (reasonably priced) cart as well. Short answer: go ahead and make it any A8 format you like. I'm your Huckleberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm your Huckleberry Cartridges will definitely be cheaper than the boxed 5200 version of the game, since boxes won't be available for an 8-bit version, nor will many of the extras that accompanied the 5200 version.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'd be interested in getting a cart too. Especially if it will work on an 800XL and an XEGS! While I did order the 5200 version, the computer systems are so much easier to carry around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awace Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 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. fido barked once no one heard exept me . hello I was wondering if you were interested in the version i was I have a 48k 400 and a regular atari 800 a disk drive a sio2pc cable witch doesnt work I want a software that just instantly works w wxp and works GOOD no screwing around and that writes to the atari 5¼ disks also reads them to atr files so i could cdrom burn all data then burn to a usb chip for safe keeping. hmm mabie he could bank it on a 1gig memmory stick or a smaller one cheaper then we could burn the .bin file to our own eeprom he providing a sticker. I tried 5200 adventure and like it and want to pay it looks like a cool game. I might still beable to make that basic game the lahsa apso peed on to move a dog to a fire hydrent I made a game using an atari basic programing atari gr and it worked i just couldnt figure out how to switch back and forth from gr.1 back to gr.5 i forget. anwyay it worked then the dog peed on the disk . that dog popo was smart. I like atari age got fbII v2 pic 2 w jumper 9 and jumper 3 I need to rip apart a old 2600 now and steal cart . then make a 256 selectable .bin cart. banked switched.

awace Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 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. Greetings, Beetle on the 600xl the basic rom comes out and the space invaders rom goes in!@@@@@@@@@@@@ I did this and it worked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin72 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'd be interested in getting a cartridge too for my Atari 800XL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdh Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Something like the Beef Drop release, nice label and instruction manual would be fantastic Really hope to see this available soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'll buy whatever version you make, I can run whatever on my 800XL with SIO2PC or 1050 if you make real discs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Something like the Beef Drop release, nice label and instruction manual would be fantastic Really hope to see this available soon That's a given. The manual will be virtually the same, with whatever changes are appropriate for an 8-bit computer version (for instance, replacement of the 5200 controller pictured). The label will be reduced in size and formatted for an 8-bit cart. I already have 8-bit labels for this purpose. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I want to do that, but I have printed such labels before and they are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I much prefer the XE cartridge style. A gray cart with a vented design and a blue label. The brown carts couldn't be any more boring to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Really? I hate the cheapy XE carts, give me a Brown well made cart any day (but not with a silver label ) or a nice blu Big5 case or Parker Bros or Activision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 The cartridges would very likely be recycled brown cartridges, with a label similar to the 5200 label. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaDDuck Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Yummy I agree, yummy indeed. Adventure II, in a brown early-era recycled cart. case. oh.... with the original Adventure as an Easter Egg (or menu option!) Any programers up to it???

MaDDuck Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Maybe an enhanced version with a nice G2F title screen? -- Atari Frog http://www.atarimania.com That's a tough call! Stick to the original A2, or exploit the other systems strengths! I've seen some nice G2F pictures, looked about as nice as FLI on a C-64, impressive stuff. Okay, let's recap again: 1. classic cartridge case 2. possibility of the original Adventure as Easter Egg. 3. pretty C2F title screen and enhanced graphics if possible. Just keep in mind, the more goodies added, the longer it'll take to code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
