I just tried it with 6.0.1 and I'm getting both sound and music on my side... I'm not sure what might be the issue.

Shannon Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 My bad. I thought I had downloaded the last version the other day. But apparently I did not do so!

root42 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I have to say Mappy is currently my favorite game. Finally broke 50k on standard. Levels after 10 get exceedingly hard! The cats are so fast. Still trying to get a hang of the door slamming tactics. I think that's the way to get rid of the cats in higher levels. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/272667-champ-games-mappy-2600/page/16/#findComment-4298882 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad ou're enjoying the game! Great score, and you made it up to level 12 - awesome! I've only made it up to level 9 myself lol. Yes, the slamming doors is key, especially in later levels, plus timing the jumps off the trampolines. Your score seems pretty low for level 12 though; I usually score about 90K in 9 levels. Are you collecting the prizes in order? If so, that's up to 7000 points per level!

It's hard enough to evade the cats. The 5 prizes are each worth a different amount, and for each consecutive pair of prizes that you pick up, the score multiplier increases (2x, 3x ... 6x). The values for each item are: Radio - 100 points TV - 200 pints Computer - 300 points Painting - 400 points Safe - 500 points So, if you pick up the two radios, followed by the two TV's ... and collect the 2 safes last, you will get 7000 points total: 2x100 + 3x200 + 4x300 + 5x400 + 6x500 Of course, it's very difficult and challenging to do this, especially in the later levels, but if you can at least save the higher point items (painting, safe) for last you can earn a good portion of that 7000 (depending on how many consecutive pairs you collect beforehand). Quote And how do I get the Bonus in the balloon intermission? It always shows 00... You need to pop all 15 red balloons for a total of 3,000 points (200 points each), including the last 'Goro' balloon which is worth 2,000 points = 5,000 points. Popping all 15 balloons will also give you an additional 5,000 points for 10,000 points! NOTE: You may notice that when you pop the Goro balloon, Goro escapes and moves up the screen more and more after each challenge stage. At some point you will not have enough time to pop all 15 balloons by yourself but if Goro moves high enough he may pop a balloon for you. Hope this helps! Edited June 25, 2019 by johnnywc Added info on Goro popping balloons. 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/272667-champ-games-mappy-2600/page/16/#findComment-4298918 Share on other sites More sharing options...

root42 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Ok, with the hints I managed to score quite a bit more in the early levels. But it’s still hard to do it in order. And the bonus stage is TIGHT. I am playing the 2018-08 ROM I think. Is a newer version available? Otherwise I‘ll have to wait for the cartridge. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/272667-champ-games-mappy-2600/page/16/#findComment-4299350 Share on other sites More sharing options...

e1will Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 If I haven't said so already, this game is a very impressive technical accomplishment, and (even better) it's loads of fun. It does an excellent job capturing the essence of the arcade version. Perhaps my favorite touch is the "clank" noise when a bell falls on the heads of one of the pink guys. It's just the perfect sound for that collision, even better (imo) than the sound for that in the arcade version. I know it's waaaay past time to offer a bug report, but just for posterity's sake I thought I would mention a weird occurrence that happened when I was playing tonight. I was just about to collect one of the objects that the red guy was hiding behind, and the "hurry up" text appeared, and the mouse character just froze and became invincible! I couldn't move him, but all the enemies went right through him. After a while the green coin came and ended the game. I saved the game state just in case anyone's curious to see what I saw. Anyway, this is a great game and I love it. mappy_20180606_NTSC.st0 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/272667-champ-games-mappy-2600/page/16/#findComment-4489536 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback! I believe this bug was found and fixed prior to the full version as it does sound familiar. It was a timing issue with the adding of the HURRY UP sprites/checking collisions.

Every once in a while I want to play Super Pac-Man on the Atari and am frustrated when I realize I can't! (Yet.) Bus stuffing is great but currently there are issues with it on some Atari machines (but the CDFJ team is working on it) so you may want to start with CDFJ. I have often thought about Super Pac-man on the 2600 and how I would approach it; I think what you started with was really good! Feel free to send me a PM and I would be glad to help you get started on CDFJ development and share some of my ideas. 7 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/272667-champ-games-mappy-2600/page/16/#findComment-4493803 Share on other sites More sharing options...
