+Adam+ Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I don't get it... You take part in a competition and you don't read its rules? "The program and its documentation has to be send to the head of software ressort by post or email no later than 31.07.2016 22pm (GMT+1). Bug fixes of software handed in earlier are still possible until this deadline. The timely reception will be confirmed by email and in the ABBUC forums."

José Pereira Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) O.k. I was thinking it was Germany time last minute of 31st. I usually give coder the task to send the game because he's the one that can explain things better and I have the pdf rules but in the computer and answered right away from the phone. Perhaps they could give these guys a chance after all their hard work... Edited July 31, 2016 by José Pereira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

José Pereira Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Sorry to say but with so good looking gfxs on the game that is uggly and nothing that look a squirrel and its colour. Couldn't you got it other way? Wasn't PMGs to it in those lines? P.s.- Now I get why I couldn't find it. Perhaps I'm not the only one but the one that asked for it ...

8Bitjunkie Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) and its colour. We feature blue, green and pink squirrels. A Frog that can neither jump nor swim. Ghosts who can operate switches. so what - its' s a fictional game, not a national geographic doku BTW: The squirrel is a set of two players...

José Pereira Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 So if it's a set of 2Players multicolour why not like in title picture in 3browns. Ok your decision but that ones seem to mess/not seen over the colourfull many colours and DLIs of the background gfxs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARIO130XE Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hey ho mates. Hmm. It's not a problem of skillz. It's artistic freedom. As you can see here, the 1st designs was made in brown colours. Almost everywhere, you can see, the 'good' actors are painted or dressed in nice colours and the 'vicked' n 'crazy' actor is using ugly n dark colours and shiny eyes. Take a look. That's one reason. Very simple. And aside from that, the mostly brown background in the game is one big reason. Greetings Mario 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Adam+ Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 ... and another article on AtariOnline.pl, this time about Rain of Terror game by Eric Henneke and Rob Schlortt. The version translated to English by Google looks like that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARIO130XE Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Very cool. Finally one more paddle game and thank god, it's not another one of the 100+ arkanoid / breakout clones. Unfortunately I have ATARI-paddles but only a few games to use them. BTW. would like to have a list of all paddle-games for the A8. Is there such a thing? greetings Mario 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I have ATARI-paddles but only a few games to use them. BTW. would like to have a list of all paddle-games for the A8. Is there such a thing? greetings Mario Well, there is such a thing named the "A8FAQ" maintained by Michael Current. It lists various programs for certain controllers (paddles, mouse, trackball, cx85 keypad, etc.). But since almost no-one reads the A8FAQ it is not updated very often anymore... ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/faqs/atari-8-bit/faq Look for subject 8.8 - what programs use paddle controllers... (currently lists 92 programs). Or how about Fandal`s database ? http://a8.fandal.cz/search.php?search=paddles&butt_details_x=x or atarimania (which lists 158 entries): http://www.atarimania.com/list_games_atari-400-800-xl-xe-paddles_control_2_8_G.html Edited August 3, 2016 by CharlieChaplin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARIO130XE Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Thank you so much. edit after fast-watching the lists: Holy shit, that's a lot of pinball games for the XL/XE on the Atarimania List Edited August 3, 2016 by MARIO130XE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
