Noah98 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I read somewhere that Demon Attck only works on the 400/800. Is that true? I have an 800 XL and an XEGS. Also, any differences in the game from the 2600 version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grevle Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 (edited) Yes it normally only run on Atari 400/800, But it can run on 800 XL and an XEGS with the use of the translator disc (Xlator). This will emulate the Atari 800 on a 800xl or the XEGS or the Xe computers and then demon attack will run , at least the exe version dont know if this work with a real Cart of Demon Attack. Or a Atarimax flash cartrigde and the setting run win A800 os, this will aslo run Demon Attack on Atari 800xl or the Xegs and the XE computers. As far as i know the A8 version and A2600 are almost identical. Edited October 18, 2015 by BioFreeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 There's a converted version which will run on XL/XE machines without a translator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah98 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 I was hoping to pick up the cartridge. Thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Westphal Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Or a translator cart from video 61. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-atari Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Freezer set to OS_B works great also. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Freezer set to OS_B works great also. :-) Or running the game from MyBIOS which is backwards compatible with OS B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Fandal usually has patched versions of most games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathchild Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I was hoping to pick up the cartridge. Thanks for the info! You'd have to burn a new ROM to put inside an original case. The patched version was uploaded by Mr Atari on the 4th post here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) The 32-in-1 OS upgrade from Atarimax is yet another solution.Priced right and easy to install, in a socketed XL at least. Probably the ideal choice for you, as it would make your 800XL compatible with the entire cartridge library.

Level42 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Although the A8 version is very close to the 2600 I still prefer the 2600 one, which is normally always the other way around. I think the "zap-in" sound on the 2600 is more "raw" and impressive. Most of all though I always found the speed on the 2600 to be a tad faster. It took me until about a year ago since I got a NTSC 800XL to know that the speed difference is because of the PAL A8s I always used to have. Even so.....Demon Attack and Atlantis are IMHO just a little bit better on the 2600. Wished Imagic had done Cosmic Ark on A8 too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 There is also a disk version from Activision with Pitfall and Demon Attack. Works great on XL and XE machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be able to play games on your stock 64KB 800xl... buy yourself a myide ][ This thing runs almost any game on stock atari.

Great piece of hardware, but the 32-in-1 will allow you to use the actual Imagic cart, and any other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grevle Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I belive that XL friendly version of Demon Attack also wil run using only a sio2pc, or a regualr disc drive if yo have one. As the file is probably patched to run on a Atari XL/XE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
