+playsoft Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-sea-dragon_4559.html START = start PAUSE = pause/resume RESET = reset * = number of players/stick selection # = difficulty selection There are two cart images: sea16.bin is a single chip 16K image, sea64.bin is a 64K image using the M.U.L.E. bank switching scheme - the game is the same in both, the bigger one contains an Aking splash screen. Thanks to Aking and Official Ninja for testing. I have kept the cheats the same as the original... hint: 2-port owners will be kept honest. sea16.bin sea64.bin sea16_source.zip sea64_source.zip 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_ Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) How? A quote from Paul: ".............cheats which are accessed by pressing the trigger on the joysticks in ports 3 & 4 (extra lives and level select)." Edit: Also HERE confirms it is the same on the 800 with 4 joystick ports Edited April 16, 2014 by Official Ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwilove Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) This is one special game I have fond memories of - back in the day. That is actually able to be completed - if you put your time and patience into it. It reminds me a lot of Thrust - which gets progressively harder. The knack in Sea Dragon is to know that sweet spot when you have some forward/backward motion available to you - which forces any likely mine to rise - rise. Once you know of that critical spot of the screen - and where your sub should be to take advantage of it. You'll then not find it to be a frustrating game at all, by understanding it's play mechanics. Of course it is a nerve wracking game to play but it is simply the best of all the 'scramble' like games out there - in which it's speed is slowed down. Like Blue Max it serves as an example of excellent game design. An oldie but a goodie. Harvey Edited April 17, 2014 by kiwilove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I've been playing a bit, using one of my WICO analog sticks, and it has good control. I would image though, that this game might be next to impossible using the stock controller. There are some games I prefer the stock controller, but a game like this that needs precision movement in the tunnels... The stock controller, seems like it would add a whole level of difficulty. (Yes, I'm too lazy to grab one and try it out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
