Utilikey Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Darrell, Great addictive game that you completed. This is my high score to date! 616000. It's been awhile since I played it, so I hope that the score will stand for awhile... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you clear all sectors in a quadrant with that score? Edited May 13, 2020 by intergalactic419 wasn't finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredtdk Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 His conversion from the Bosnian classic is just incredible! Curious and that Bit Corp. did something similar in the Mission 300 A.D game, but the result was far from what was expected from Arcade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mef Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Long, long overdue... Thank you so much for making this. Not only is the game a real technical wonder, it's also extremely playable and has become the mainstay of "Atari nights" we're having, alongside Medieval Mayhem. Truly a masterpiece!

Albert Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I should add video reviews like this to the store. Maybe when I move the store to new software later this year. ..Al 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Draconian always puts a smile on my face. My son stopped by last weekend and I just happen to be playing. I handed the controller over to him and had fun just watching him play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Wow, this is excellent. I had seen the A8 version which is great, but this is also great and so much fun to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 @Nathan Strum - @MikeMika tweeted about the X68000 version of Bosconian today. Never heard about that home computer before. I like the extended launch sequence (at 0:55). The Extra Cannon message and transition from single to triple frontal firing (at 1:03) suggests a power up or a game variation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 Review of Draconian from Japan! Wish I understood it better - ich kann Deutsch, hablo español, but I don't know Japanese and YouTube's closed captioning with auto-translation seems a bit... off, and often goes for periods of time without any captions at all for what he's saying. I did like the information slides he made: He also did one on Mappy that @johnnywc might enjoy: As well as one on the Melody board used by Draconian and Mappy: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 That's pretty cool, thanks for the links to the videos. Wish I knew Japanese! I have another copy of Draconian going to Japan today! ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 I also found the reviews in text form on his web site. I added a Google Translate link, it defaults to English but you can change it to other languages using the dropdown at the top. Draconian (translate) Mappy (translate) Melody (translate) AtariVox (translate) Translations are still a bit off, such as this bit where I'm sure he's talking about the digitized speech samples: Quote When you start, you can hear the sound during the game! I was also surprised that the ATARI2600 could produce sound! ! This is undoubtedly a god transplant. I will defeat the green station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it provides better quality than Google: Quote When you start the game, you can hear audio throughout the game! This was another surprise to me, that you could hear audio in the ATARI 2600!!! This is also unmistakably a divine port. Defeat the green station! Edited September 8, 2022 by Thomas Jentzsch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. You are about 2 months too late. It was removed from the AA Store at the end of July. You can download the final version ROM from the first page of this thread to play in emulation. Spiceware decides to publish it someplace else in physical form you are going to have to find one in the resale market and it's likely going to cost a lot more than a retail version would.

DarthDuke Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I've got to try this one! I saw someone mention it in the comments section of a YouTube video about homebrew Atari games and had to look it up. I love Bosconian and the Star Wars version of it too. Glad to see that someone has made an Atari 2600 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Dungeon II from the store and it arrived in amazing shape! So cool to have a box, cartridge and poster for that game. Would be sweet to have that for Draconian too. Not sure how I missed seeing Draconian on the store page. Oddly enough, nobody on Ebay is selling one. It's unusual to come up empty on an Ebay search. Maybe someone could convince Spiceware to make a few more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
