Gregory DG Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 At first I thought it was Snake Pit with that top-down perspective. This looks like more fun though. Can't wait to give it a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to give it a try! I'm just waiting on more graphics and then I can release a little demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Hmmm... Good question! Everything I've tried so far hasn't been a problem for MARIA to handle in one form or another. I might have to scale things back but its still presentable . MARIA is very flexible when you get down to it. The big problem I have is fitting all the graphics in the ROM . Are you still sticking to 48K or willing to go up to 64K or 128K? Edited January 31, 2010 by DracIsBack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Are you still sticking to 48K or willing to go up to 64K or 128K? 48K is the limit on this one. Anything above that and it gets harder to get the carts made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that and contacted Bruce Tomlin about it but I never heard anything back . The last I heard he was pretty much out of boards. I don't think he had the funds at the time to do another run.

I didn't realize he actually completed the design. That's cool. But yeah, hardware is pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kidding - 7800 homebrews make me happy regardless. But of all yours, I'm most interested in this and Apple Snaffle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm pretty sure both games will be released on cart form this year. Famous last words I know . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Philsan Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I like the walls graphics very much. As you pointed out, this game recalls to the mind the marvellous Atic Atac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
