_Fandal_ Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) OK. I bought Xenophobe proto for probably too much money but that's just my fault. Anyway, the game is awesome! It looks like 7800 version and so far I haven't found any unfinished features. Here're some screenshots. The game will be hopefully produced by Video 61. F.

Tezz Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) Great to finally see it! It looks like it would have been a very good conversion **EDIT i should say it was a good conversion Edited April 24, 2007 by Tezz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I can't wait to review this on AtariProtos. I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrathchild Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Curses that I haven't co-incided a trip to CZ this year with the AtariAda dates. Nice buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 More purple girl syndrome? Are you grabbing the shots with an emulator? Looks good BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 This is amazing news, and it looks like a wonderful conversion. I can't wait to hear more about this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Tell Video 61 I want my cart today! Thanks for sharing Fandal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Marvelous, simply marvelous! Glad someone finally let the "genie" out of the bottle. I'm guessing the music/sfx are a step up from the 7800 version, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allas Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) Congrats Fandal ! Maybe Xenophone is the last game before 2000 that hasn't been distributed over the atarians. It's good to see that the game have good graphics and its near at 100% finished. How much do you paid for this jewel? Maybe 3 130XE?.... or 6 130XE?

ApolloBoy Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Damn, looks just like the 7800 version only with less colors. If I find this at CGE 2K7, I'm snatching one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Fandal_ Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hahahahahaha. This is really fun. eBay canceled my Xenophobe auction due to "copyright violation". It seems somebody is really very angry I want to make this game available to the public. Hopefully I'll not be trialed! More actions like this and I would consider quiting Atari for ever... F.

Really? I never heard of such a thing. Considering that possesion is 9/10 of the law, and the the fact that you have probably already dumped the ROM, I would say you have a lot of "options" available at this point. What do they mean by "copyright violation"? You haven't actually done anything yet. Seems pretty ridiculous to me...

Tempest Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Congrats Fandal ! Maybe Xenophone is the last game before 2000 that hasn't been distributed over the atarians.

classics Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Did you have to make any changes to the emulator to get it running? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really true, there are MANY more titles that haven't surfaced yet.

_Fandal_ Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 OK brothers. I sold the cart to Video 61 today and I deleted the dump I made. Everything is up to Video 61. Anyway. Xenophobe for 8-bit Atari is standard XEGS 128kB switchable cart (like Commando). There're no credits except title screen (see the first screenshot). F.

Tempest Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I sold the cart to Video 61 today and I deleted the dump I made. Everything is up to Video 61. Eep! I would have at least waited until Lance confirmed that he was able to dump the proto himself. What if something happens to it?

Allas Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 (edited) Oh that's a pity! Maybe you could have taken a little video before. We'll be waiting news from Video 61 this year. If it not, you can use your secret backup ROM Edited April 25, 2007 by Allas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
