+therealbountybob Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Mr.M by Anthony Ku, erm... that's all I know, so let's see if Dope's pick is up for 2 weeks of play! The game has the story and instructions on the title screen Fandal has XEX, Atarionline.pl has XEX & ATRs, and Atarimania has some info >>> Scott - 16/11/2009 I went to Atari Camp with Anthony years ago (1984 I believe.) He finished the game while at camp. I got a copy of the game from him but it was missing the last level - which everyone says is the best. I wonder if the downloadable version has the last level? Might be worth, getting the old 130XE up a running again. <<< Round ends Sunday 12th June 10am UK time PLAY ATARI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Mr M 38480. This game can be very frustrating cos Mr M sometimes gets stuck on the walls. Perhaps that's supposed to be part of the game but I doubt it. In certain places in the levels he can get stuck to the point where it's very difficult to get him free. Also I got to the third level and it doesn't seem to work properly. I think you're supposed to be able to transport from the right-hand side to the left side of the screen using the tunnels but it seems more often than not he gets stuck leaving the screen. In fact I only got it to work once, perhaps I'm doing it wrong? Edit: Kept playing for another hour or so. It's a good game but there seem to be inconsistencies. Sometimes the radioactive pies seem to pass through the food and sometimes they don't, and sometimes they don't kill you when they hit you. On the third level if you let him 'drift' through the tunnels and don't touch the joystick he passes through without getting stuck, most of the time!

If you press the fire button he shrinks in size...sorta like ducking but yea..I get stuck on the walls as well...wonder if it has to do with the emulator?

McKong Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I was playing on my 800XL so not an emulator problem. I think it's safe to say there are a couple of minor issues with the game, but it's a good game, definitely worth playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Wonder if the ATR or XEX from atarionline is different - see the comments on the 1st post from atarimania about the finished version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 15,115 on the first screen a door opens at the top, but if you eat all the dots another door opens. I will play some more at the weekend. I tried the K-File ATR from ataronline.pl, on the title screen there was a glitch with the top guy's pmg appearing on the bottom half - moving in the text box! 6,635No bonus game No, so there's a chance for you two have two goes of this game and even win the round 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 104845 Level 6 Found it very difficult to get out of the exit on Level 6. If Dope hadn't already done it I would have said it was impossible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 The game is easier once you figure out why sometimes you are not hit: Why it's his indestructible green trousers! So use them to your advantage. Keep getting stuck in the walls but I guess it's up to you to be more careful when un-ducking?! 29K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Yeah if you line up correctly he can catch a pie without getting killed. Still doesn't make any sense why some pies fly through the food and others don't. Still it doesn't really matter I've enjoyed playing the game. I've lost lots of lives trying to get out of the exit at the top of level 6 haven't managed it yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
