Thanksgiving shopdown 2000

[Freder]

A hack of "Venture" originally programed by Joseph Biel from Coleco for the Atari 2600 in 1982.

 

It's the day before Thanksgiving and you're running around the store trying to scrounge for supplies!

Along the way you dodge other shoppers and throw cans at them to get your precious items.

Don't stay in one section too long, though, or you may be run over by a runaway shopping cart!

 

A small hack I was working on and I ran into some trouble.

There is a square in the first room that won't seem to go away and other problems with the walls and backgrounds.

I also haven't started on the second level and I might just start over.

 

-The ghost sprites along with a few monsters have been changed to look like people with shopping carts

-Treasures have been changed to look like food items:

- first room: a large cooking pot

- second room: a box containing stuffing mix

- third room: a bottle of beer

- fourth room: a turkey (but it will not show up)

- the death sprite has been changed to look more like an angry customer with food stuffs on the floor rather than a dead monster.

- the hall monster is also represented by a runaway shopping cart (I couldn't think of anything else)

 

I'll put it all in a .zip file when I finish it if that's okay, tell me what you think
