Rybags Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Yep, well done, I checked it out earlier. Just one thing though, I'd like it to have the option for the instadeath instead of energy like the arcade does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookt Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Looks great, can't wait to try it tonight. I played the life out of the Amiga version (and often still do). I never realised the arcade had the option of an energy bar. IIRC the Amiga version just killed you as soon as you touched a balloon.

Goochman Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Does this only run on PAL? Im trying it on NTSC in Altirra 2.8 and the screen starts to jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tebe Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) yes, PAL only http://www.myatari.com/nirdary.html Edited November 14, 2016 by tebe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Any way this can be made to run on a 1050 Drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 This is an incredible port -- and I love the in-game music! Any chance for a NTSC conversion? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Like I already wrote at atarionline, it would be nice to have this game on two 130k disksides... since there are still some atarians left, that use a real 1050 drive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darwinmac Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 yes, PAL only http://www.myatari.com/nirdary.html I tried the PAL upgrade after meeting Nir. Unfortunately, in the US, it can be hard to find a monitor compatible with the PAL signal. I have heard good things about the Commodore 1702 monitor for this purpose, but I have not seen it working myself. I am also not thrilled about relying on a 30 year old monitor. For me, I have simply been playing the PAL games on Altirra. Bob C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) Yep, I know for the hardcore its real hardware only but the experience on Altirra in PAL is so damn close to a real machine its should be as enjoyable as the real thing. Cue people saying they can feel the input lag (which of course there will be but the timing is so slight it really does not affect the play) Oh, forgot to say what a brilliant conversion it is, Pang on the 8bit with great music and graphics, who would have thought it... Congrats to all our super talented programmers out there, you amaze us always.. Paul.. Edited November 15, 2016 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvas Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Really well done. Would it be possible to make it multiplayer (or atari run out of resources) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I noticed a min ago it checks for a VBXE but does it actually use it, I flipped it under altirra a couple of times and saw no difference (well to my tired eyes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Quite an impressive sprite engine. How many objects can be moving at once? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) I see it detects the '816. Any chance of using 816 specific code to save a few cycles to make it NTSC friendly? It plays for a little while with screen flickering / jumping and eventually locks up on NTSC. Edit: If it requires the use of Drac030's 816 OS is fine with me, and I'm sure all other Incognito / U1M users who are stuck in NTSC land and have an '816 will be happy.

José Pereira Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) Don't know if he's also here on AtariAge and who is but had discovered him on the Pang topic at AtariOnline. He's going already at level 5 and as he seems a good player and for all curious guys (me included ) better having a constantly look at his youTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/tdc6502/videos How much levels/different parts of the world has our version and which are? P.s.- Would be nice if Tebe had/will put the names of the places on the bottom panel like on the arcade and other versions...

My browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Explorer,...)? Tried so may ways, translated and not and all adresses go into AtariOnline and never to the Pang topic page. Even tried many going into Google Translate page and is the same. What a great shit!... What do you guys get there? Any of you can explain why this is happening to me and the way to solve it? Thanks.
