littleman jack Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I posted this in the 5200 forum as well, hopefully that's okay. Was Venture ever made for the 8-bits? Or anything resembling it? I loved the arcade game, and often played my 2600 version. But I've always wished for an 8-bit version, to take it closer to the arcade. Having said that, Wolfenstein VCS (2600 hack) is very close to what I envisioned it being like for the 8-bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesD Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I'd love to see this finished but there is a big difference between simple animated screens and a full game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZylonBane Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) But will you guys ever learn how to do clean display transitions without a frame or two of garbage data flashing on the screen?

+Stephen Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Well, we all know you are a master games coder who contributes tons to the 8-bit world. Maybe you can share some code to teach those lamers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Kill all video DMA. Set up new display. Re-enable DMA in VBI. It's not rocket science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Larry Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Probably the closest thing that I'm aware of is "Fortune Hunter" circa 1982 from Romox. I think that one could argue that several of the "go into the room and escape alive" games are pretty similar, but Venture had a neat quality all its own, especially the ColecoVision version. My daughter and I played that for hours back in the day. (sigh!) -Larry I posted this in the 5200 forum as well, hopefully that's okay. Was Venture ever made for the 8-bits?

IndusGT Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 kjmann.. How about telling everyone why you are not answering e-mails and where's everyone's orders? I'd love to see this finished but there is a big difference between simple animated screens and a full game.
