Seconded. When I saw the announcement in status update I thought ROM purchases would also now be implemented. Leaving disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Just now, VectorGamer said: Seconded. When I saw the announcement in status update I thought ROM purchases would also now be implemented. Leaving disappointed. That's not going to happen until I get the store moved to completely new software. Have wanted to do that for a while now, but it's going to be another time-consuming process like this year's forum upgrade. Do plan on working on that early in the new year. ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Iacovelli Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I want to make sure I have the latest Released Rom of this game for round 2 of the Harmony Games. @Thomas Jentzsch, told me in another post that the finished version rom won't be available so is version 2 demo that was used in Atari Awards this year the latest version or is the another version. He also told me to try wild 1 setting but I saw this mentioned Quote SPECIAL FEATURES (not in demo version) The WILD modes add obstacles which can block your path, and changes enemy behavior. Try the fun of discovery! Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Sorry, I simply forgot that he final ROM is not released and that there is no mode selection in the demo. For now, you have to play the demo, which most likely will result into a test of stamina. The difficulty maxes out soon and from then on you can play forever. Probably not a ROM well suited for a contest like this. Sorry again. I will ask Al and Oscar about a release date for the final ROM. IMO the sooner the better, but there are probably good reasons to postpone further. Edited April 3, 2020 by Thomas Jentzsch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember playing the demo version on ZPH one show and I had to stop playing as it was too easy to keep looping the game forever. You'll probably have to get creative with the rules on this one. ?

+Nathan Strum Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hmmm... I never realized it before, but I used the same basic layout for the labels for Duck Attack! and Aardvark. A big thing on the left, shooting something out of its mouth at a little thing in the lower right corner, running away. Must be in a rut. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Is Aardvark a rip-off of Oil's Well or is Oil's Well a ripoff of Aardvark? Just got my copy today. Too bad you can't make the Aardvark blue like the Ant and The Aardvark character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark started as a remake of M-Network's port of the arcade game Anteater, which is from 1982. Oil's Well came out in 1983. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, they'll pass by your tongue harmlessly if the tip of the tongue is on a different floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
