littleman jack Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hello everyone. I was wondering, does anyone know if the homebrews --5200 Adventure II and 7800 Pac-Man Collection-- have ever been mentioned or planned for the Atari 8 bits? I'd love to fire these two up on an 800 or 130XE. Thanks. Littleman Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accousticguitar Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Adventure II was supposed to make it to the 8 bit, but I don't know if it ever will. I've never heard of the Pac-Man collection mentioned for the 8 bit. That one would be a lot harder to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Adventure II may see the light of day on the 8bit, at least it was written for a similar machine. Pac man collection on the other hand is a hack of Ms Pac man for the 7800 so would require a total re write for the a8, therefore I dont see it happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyjin Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 If I knew anything about XE programming, I'd do the port... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 There are already XL/XE versions of Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, a prototype of Super Pac-Man, and there is a 5200 version of Jr. Pac-Man. Just hack those into the missing variations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) Sure - then hack in all of the missing mazes, the title screens, the updated menu, and put them all into a 32K chip... God knows all I did was hack a few things here and there to make this Unfortunately, I'm no where near as 'great' as other programmers on this board, but I try to do what I can.

Take a chill pill, man! I wasn't trying to dog on your project, I was just trying to point out that trying to port a 7800 game to the XL/XE is kinda silly when so many Pac-Man variations already exist on the XL/XE. EDIT: Especially since the XL/XE graphics hardware is so different from Maria. Edited April 11, 2008 by vdub_bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I PM'd Ron/Cafeman (the guy behind Adventure II) about the 8-bit version, and he said no one had expressed interest in one, so he'd stopped after the 5200 cart. But he did say to check back in May for a possible status update. I'm hoping he'll be able to come out with Adventure II for the 8-bit some day.
