+MrFish Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 When this gets released, I'm just totally tempted to hack a grisly ending into it. Speaking of "hacking"... you could have the shower scene theme from psycho play as he gets hacked up with a knife. It'd be a nice change in mood from the happy bouncing theme.

emkay Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yea, I know... I just said it cause I know 7 is Emkay's favorite. Is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Because there's no graphics 7 equivalent mode? I expected something like a rotten Worm or restriction Bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yea, I know... I just said it cause I know 7 is Emkay's favorite. Is it? Well, at least it's a high-ranking mode for you... which there is absolutely nothing wrong with btw. I happen to be quite fond of the mode's uses myself.

Gunstar Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) How is Nyan supposed to be pronounced in this situation? Like neon? Does 'Nyan' come from another source? Edited November 27, 2011 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 It's derived from the song name which was used when someone YouTubed it. The whole thing is just another evolved internet meme - of which about 95% are annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I understood Nyan came from the Japanese word which describes the noise a cat makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russg Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) That Nyan Cat is not an Atari 8-bit program. It is an 8 meg MP4 that requires a special MP4 player. I searched for a Atari 8-bit version, and couldn't find one. Maybe I'm missing something. If someone has an Atari 8-bit version, maybe post it here? Maybe it is a 'style' of Atari 800.

flashjazzcat Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Peter Dell wrote it, AFAIK, and it's 5KB. I read all this on the comments of the original video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russg Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Uhm... I'll Paypal you, or anyone, $10 USD if you can post an 8-bit Atari version that I can run on my 8-bit Atari, or even on Atari800winplus 4 or Altirra PAL or NTSC in the next 10 hours. Starting 8:30 PM GMT 11/27/11 (I think it is 8:30 PM in UKland.) (I'll wake up tomorrow and check.) Lemme see... that'd be by 18:30 GMT ie. 6:30 AM GMT 28/11/11 UK , 1:30 AM my ET time 11/28/11. It has to be the version that was originally posted Youtube URL. Edited November 27, 2011 by russg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Congrats - what are you going to do with the money Actually, I need some DIN13 sockets for VBXE installs and I have NO MONEY, so this is indeed a timely windfall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

José Pereira Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 That xex is an unfinished version and no I'm not Peter Dell For an unfinished version and he would get what? Just $2 or $3 and have to pay you a tax also ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MrFish Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Here you go: nyan.xex PM for Paypal details... Super-Speed on NTSC. Does still have an issue on real NTSC hardware (screen garbage on the left side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I showed the video to my wife earlier and was puzzled that she did not share my enthusiasm. Perhaps she'll think differently when she hears about the cash bounty! On the other hand, perhaps I should keep it to myself... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteD Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Yup, as I say, unfinished version. The latest one is fixed for NTSC (music and anims) and might have an extra surprise Need to finish something else first before I put the finishing touches to Nyan but it won't be long, or I might upload the sans surprise version then finish the surprise one later.
