Jinks Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hey you know what would be the greatest.. If someone made downland for the 7800 ya know the trs-80 game, or made a downland 2?? It was the coolest game ever I remember playong this as a kid and there is no other game like it ever made.... heres a link in case you all did not grow up in the 80's I liked to no music and just simple sound effects to the game...I played this before I played dk or dk jr. and I liked this way way better.. Believe me its a hard game to play all 10 chambers with the anolog controllers that would not quite be at the middle and whoops you fall off the rope!!

Jinks Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Aw crap the link i sent has no sound I thought there was sound but it was probably the sound effects I could hear in my head my eyes could hear the video, you get that way after playing it for weeks on end..

raskar42 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Believe me its a hard game to play all 10 chambers with the anolog controllers that would not quite be at the middle and whoops you fall off the rope!! I own downland and it's a lot of fun. it would be a good fit for 7800. also, i recommend you get yourself a tandy deluxe joystick. you can set it to self center. it makes a world of difference.

+thegoldenband Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thirded on the Downland props. Love that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersquirel Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Downland rocks. I plaited that when I was younger all the time. Never beat it. The odd thing is that I just got back into my coco for the first time in 20 years in the beginning of september. I just played downland not that long ago, and yes it would be awesome on the 7800. Perhaps even an XM title. -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattyboombatty Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Reminds me of Goonies, which is in development for the CV, my other system of choice. but this looks original and fun.

AtariLeaf Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'd love to see a few coco games ported over to an Atari system. One I love, and I don't see anything quite like it on another system, is Doubleback. You have to circle the items on the screen. It sounds easy but it gets very difficult. I don't think it would work well with a digital joystick though, it would have to be analog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Ghost Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Ha....I hadn't thought of Downland in years! I played it quite a bit for my CoCo3. Remembered it being a lot of fun. Get this though...my parents got me the least expensive joysticks they had at Radio Shack though, which were non-centering. Yea, try playing with those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Downland is one of my favorites for the system...love to see the sequel and would be a good one for the 7800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yea Downland was an excellent game, I played the hell outta it growing up...don't think the game had BGM tho? I would love to see it ported as well as other great COCO classics such as Mind Roll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
