+therealbountybob Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 My poor result. I have no time to play this time :/ tales_2017.png Hi Sikor. we appreaciate you posting same goes for others who just post here now and again ToDaC was getting on with some serious point bagging 107,800 but the darn things jumped over my torch beam and got me. The cavemen are evolving! Next they'll have Ataris BotD 1,200 seemed to clear all the rooms on the first map, went into the portal/tunnel but it still said level 1 and was empty so not sure if I beat it or whether there is something else to do. You can jump over the dragons fire, getting back is harder but you respawn to the room entry so it's not too bad. Yes Carlsson it's not a bad game. I went a different route to avoid the can't get up and over bit on the right edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Found a BotD video. Watching this I notice you can jump straight up and then move across not just jump up into the edges as I was doing!! What is going on at 1m14 seconds as he seems to be teleported past the corner bit that I couldn't get past -perhaps just a video edit (I since went the other way around to avoid this bit) ?!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXfCYYDGwNo&feature=youtu.be Current Standings updated and Round 16 poll OPEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Yeah. I want to imagine that my Deluxe Starplex controller is beneficial for a game like BotD but I'm not sure, probably anyone who can handle a stick and its fire button at the same time does far better anyway.

+therealbountybob Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Ha! after about 100 goes on ToDaC I've just realised you can climb back down your ropes even when you are on the platform above - just pull down diagonally... 105K today's best!

Sikor Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I tried this game... MAybe somedays, but for this day it is too nervous for me ;P Btw: it is other changes on "Tales of dragons and cavemen" than flashing screen on title screen. Look at few version for example here: http://atarionline.pl/v01/index.php?ct=katalog&sub=T&tg=Tales%20of%20Dragons%20%26%20Cavemen#Tales%20of%20Dragons%20%26%20Cavemen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I just tried all the versions on atarionline and none of them fix the 'flickering' issue as far as I can see. I'm having to try them in Altiirra for now as my 800xl died Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having to try them in Altiirra for now as my 800xl died Hope you can get that fixed - I'm sure someone on the main forum can help with that. I'd be mortified if it was my (original) 130XE though I have some other Atari models around just in case (good for testing my games on too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Reminder this round and the Round 16 POLL close Sunday morning I've been playing the "Chaotic Hacker" file version with the flashing title screen - the Tales of Dragons & Cavemen (1986)(AMC-Verlag)(DE)[a].xex has a nice loading screen picture. Can't see any gameplay differences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 ToDaC: the more you play the more you learn... so you can not only climb down to your rope through the platform you can also get back onto a rope that is across a platform by pushing up diagonal - this is handy if you've dropped down one level. (107,130 today) Botd 1400 points and made the door on the first stage but still stayed there and was hostile enemies so perhaps i've still missed something. Now that I've been jumping up properly (fire and up in the middle of the gaps then move across to land) the game is much easier. We could do with finding the instructions - probably on one of the ESC Smash Hits boxes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 The answer was NO! Congratulations to McKong for taking the win with Deteacher running him close. Tales of Dragons and Cavemen is a great game with lots of nice features, if only the technical issues of flicker and NTSC compatibility could be addressed this would be right up there with DK and Mr Do! Breath of the Dragon is one that I'm going to try and figure out how to complete the levels, the animations and creatures are nice and the maps are small. Not as difficult as it first seems Thanks for playing everyone :thumbsup: Final tables Tales of Dragons and Cavemen 1st McKong 150,170 14pts* 2nd Deteacher 137,900 11pts 3rd therealbountybob 107,800 10pts 4th RedThunder 27,630 9pts 5th Sikor 18,750 8pts 6th jblenkle 9,920 7pts 7th carlsson 9,410 6pts 8th devwebcl 9,050 5pts*Includes 2pt bonus for highest level reached (lv10) Breath of the Dragon 1st therealbountybob 1,400 3pts 2nd Deteacher 800 2pts 3rd carlsson 200 1pt 4th RedThunder 100 1pt 5th Sikor 100 1pt Season 14 Current Standings Updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
