+therealbountybob Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) RGB Winner Runner Up of the abbuc software contest 2014 gets a proper HSC play. One of the best abbuc games. You have to complete each scrolling level by shooting the coloured robots, you need to change colour to match them first by going into the transformer thingies [pull down to select colour then press fire to activate it] or using the collectables. Ok my description is terrible but the game is great!! Several ways to tackle each level keeps this one interesting. Start on level 0 each time. Controls Press HELP to toggle fire/joystick up action Bonus challenge play on the harder skill level Download XEX Info Info & screenshots / atariage thread Bonus Game Atari Blast (formerly GTIA Blast. 2016) Runs on a standard Atari but needs to be loaded from Cartridge; or played on emulation.

+therealbountybob Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 I sold my XL in 2012.... wish I never now after finding this site and HSC. ... I think a lot of people including myself fell into the gap between the printed magazines ending and finding that the community is still very much alive here in cyberspace (well my dining room at least)! Luckily I kept all my stuff. What Atari hardware do you have now (if any)? Sounds like you need to see if you can track down your old machine Photo Looks nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) I played RGB earlier and made it to the 4th round. I've been trying to work it out as i go along rather than read instructions. But one thing i couldnt work out was what the 'P' is for. I presumed 'P' stood for power? Perhaps it makes the gun power up quicker? Edit: Seems as though it's just 'points' Edited December 6, 2016 by McKong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mapa, Oh yes I remember It was robbed Still a great game, nice learning curve and really benefits from playing a few goes each day be sure to check out some of Mapa's other great games - we should play Marbled again next season perhaps Beat level 6 and had 4 left on level 7 but was the wrong colour near the end 430,200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedThunder Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Running out of time for months challenge :-( Just hav'nt had time to give them a crack of the whip. So I'd better put something up, in-case I don't get on the computer before Sunday. Any ways, couple of feeble scores for the record.

+therealbountybob Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Playing Atari Blast is like taking part in some amazing Atari demo, thankfully gameplay is pretty good too. After a few goes I had a feeling the default level might be a bit easy: so I completed it (76,470 from the start). It did continue after the nice end of game sequence, I guess it levelled up the skill, but I retired here. There are 14 levels - codes in Excel Mag #3 are listed by horizontal stages then vertical stages. If anyone completes the default skill play on "Hard" then "Harder" for bonus points This round and the poll close Sunday morning UK time Round 21 Poll OPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
