Byte Knight Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Great game. Another reason why I must learn to program in batari Basic. Thanks! Programming in batari Basic is fun and relatively easy - I hadn't done any programming since the Apple II days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byte Knight Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hi guys, Here's the game running on the real hardware. It runs fine on my Atari Jr. but doesn't work on my hacked Flashback II. Batari's helping me to get it to run on the FB II. I also made a manual for the game here: EMRmanual.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batari's helping me to get it to run on the FB II. I also made a manual for the game here: EMRmanual.pdf I burned a copy for myself and played level one for about 45 minutes. What is up with the timer? The best I get is to the screen just outside the castle then I die. I think I have the fastest route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batari's helping me to get it to run on the FB II. Just curious, how do you have that 2600 Jr. plugged into your television? Looks like you're getting a lot of interference.. Are you using a switchbox or an RF to Coaxial adapter? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using a switchbox or an RF to Coaxial adapter? ..Al I noticed that too. And I very highly recommend the RF to coaxial adapter, sold in the AtariAge store. In fact, now that I think about it, I need to buy another one for my new Atari 130XE, so I don't have to steal the ones off my Atari 2600 or Atari 7800.

It's got a Radio Shack power supply instead of the original so I think it may be that. My other 2600 that works well is elsewhere. This is why I want to get my game working on my hacked FB II!

Just got beck into my room twice without winning. Finally got back and to the top of the castle and won. You have to be very fast and not the the walls unless I missed a shortcut.

Byte Knight Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Just a little update - batari's got the game working with my hacked Flashback II, except that the inventory strip (score) is a little off. The game is still very playable except for this. To fix this would require a rewrite of the score kernel so I'll probably release it as is... I also lightened up the gray castle, skull castle, and gray key as these were difficult to see on a real TV. The inventory strip still works perfectly on my 2600.

Byte Knight Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 After reading the thread of aftermac's Whack-a-mole game, I realized that my random number generator sucks salmon... I've fixed this so now you'll truly get 14 different game variations when you play level 3. The wizards should appear more randomly as well. I also lightened up some of the gray rooms and objects as they were hard to see on a TV. emr10.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've fixed this so now you'll truly get 14 different game variations when you play level 3. Are you using the 16-bit random number generator? No, I didn't have any variables to spare... I used the include div_mul.asm command at the beginning of my code and: v = ((rand) / 19) + 2 to get a number between 2 and 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleman jack Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 This is a lot of fun. Are you planning on releasing this one and the Pirate7 game on cartridge by any chance? I think you'd have a lot of takers/buyers. I'd be one. Good adventures on the 2600 are hard to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byte Knight Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Hi guys, It's taken a while, but I've got 20 boxed cartridges of EMR available with manual and map. I figured I'd offer them here first because of all the great support. Let me know if you're interested - 25$ plus $5 shipping. I'll be on spring break this week, so they won't ship until next week...
