CyberKFox Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Played the rom, May i ask why is it mute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Trebor Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 What emulator are you using? It may be a setting under the emulator as the game/ROM has sound. It's not muted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Are the current sound effects considered final? If you listen to this back-to-back with the original version, the O2's sounds are clearly more complex. Odyssey 2 version 7800 version Also, while I generally like the new sprites, there's something spastic-looking about the animation as KC chomps around the maze. I think it's a combination of how the white teeth appear and disappear throughout the animation cycle (and how creepy it is that he even has teeth), how there's one frame where his eye changes shape, the huge jump from the partially-open frame to the full-open frame, and how the mouth goes into a smile when it's closed-- it makes the jaw flapping asymmetrical. Basically, each sprite looks good taken on its own, but as part of an animation sequence, they don't flow into each other. Attached is a little proof-of-concept I knocked together for how the animation might be improved. Edited May 24, 2014 by ZylonBane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Maybe KC is rabid with the new sprites... So if we paint his lips red will we have a Ms. KC? Edited May 24, 2014 by Shannon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydro Thunder Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Dying, just dying for this! I would just loved a boxed copy as well as Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest. I was an Odyssey 2 kid, and had a whole bunch of games for it. Just loved it, and KC Munchkin was a wonderful treat, even if we knew it to be a Pac Man ripoff at the time. It was different enough to be great fun (and kicked the living crap out of Atari 2600 Pac Man!). This is just wonderful nostalgia, as well as an amazing looking game Bob!! Any thoughts of creating a version of UFO? That may have been my favorite Odyssey 2 game of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Actually I was thinking more along the lines of Pick Axe Pete 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberKFox Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 What emulator are you using? It may be a setting under the emulator as the game/ROM has sound. It's not muted. ProSystem - the only 7800 emulator out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Trebor Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 ProSystem - the only 7800 emulator out there There are a few other options besides ProSystem...Including MESS. A quick and easy startup guide for MESS is right here. Just download the KC.a78 file from this post and place it in the subfolder 'software\a7800'. If you rather use ProSystem, while not completely missing sound (check under the file bar menu options that 'Mute' is not checked), there are some sounds missing as noted in this post. The last public release of the ProSystem emulator is several years old and evidently missing some key code pieces for better emulation of the 7800. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Prosystem is not 100% POKEY accurate. On my latest project (doing the music for a reboot of Mario Bros.) I am using the POKEY hi pass filter. How it works is, the frequency value in channel 2 modulates the pitch you actually hear coming out of channel 0, this can be used to make really scratchy, tinny sounds. But Prosystem is apparently having none of this. It doesn't work. It does work on MESS tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Awesome! Definitely going to purchase a copy next week. Just wanted to let you know that after I sell out of the 50 copies I built for this release, copies may not be available again until I have enough 7800 carts to build another batch. Or I have new AtariAge shells made (a project I'm working on), whichever comes first. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacpix Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Well, I guess I better purchase one today then. Been looking forward to a cart release of this one for a while. Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 You're welcome! Just didn't want you to be surprised should they not be available to order, which is pretty likely in a few days. However, I do plan on making it available indefinitely once I'm not constrained by cart supplies, which is a bit of a pain right now. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Sent a pm to Albert to order the 7800 games. I need to drop 150 or so on some stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalloonFighter Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) I was generously given a copy of this game by none other than Bob himself at Free Play Florida (Thank you Bob!) Anyone who has been anticipating its release should just go buy it right now, for they will not be disappointed. P.S. Is there any way that I can order a manual by itself? I think it would be a nice addition to my cart. Edited December 16, 2014 by BalloonFighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
