+acadiel Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) Filip has released the production Pitfall EPROM to me, and I have a demo now on Youtube. It's still processing, but the quality should get better. Description: Filip Van Vooren's adaptation of the classic Pitfall game - for the TI-99/4A. Filip has remade the classic game, and it works in a 32K EPROM! (Sorry I mispronounced your name a couple times, Filip - I corrected myself by the end!) Filip's website, www.retroclouds.de, will tell you more about him and the game. Filip has already made a limited run of these cartridges (with an awesome label), but stay tuned for announcements from him about future games, and future availability of the cartridge. Bare cartridge boards that run this game can be pre-ordered here. Thanks to Filip for this great remake!!!

tjb Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Very impressive! It looks to be spot on with the original. Did he simply study a port for another platform very closely or maybe reverse enginner a port for another platform and then re-implement in on the TI? BTW, thanks again for the cartridge board! tjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I did an interview with the programmer and it was published in the December issue of Retrogaming Times Monthly, or "RTM". It's easy to find on a google search. It is really a good interview. The article was called "Pitfall!: A Homebrewer's Journey.". Filip was very forthcoming and open to talking about his programming style and techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+retroclouds Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 This a cross-post of my topic in the Atariage homebrew section. Next week I will be contacting the folks that are on the pre-order list for the first batch. If all works out well, cartridges can be sent out by the end of February You might also want to check out my blog here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opry99er Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I'm sure he would love to meet you and he would certainly be interested in your port... Especially since his name is real big across the title screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimes99er Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 That's exciting! Where will it be held? Eh, there's a menu at the left following the link posted. One says location. Apparently top-notch Las Vegas hotel Tropicana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
