ballyalley Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I've been out of town, so maybe this has already been mentioned. Note that Wizard of Wor does not have autofire. There are several versions of this game floating around that have this extra included and it makes the game WAY too easy. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Ballyalley: The version pointed to by therealbountybob does not have autofire. I suppose all of us are using the same version, so no worries there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graywest Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 @graywest How do you get your Lostcat to run in Altirra ? Hey RedThunder, I'm not too familiar with Altirra, but it's an Atari 8-bit emulator, right? The games that I've made are all for 2600. They run great in Stella, though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) First Session: Wizard of Wor 51,700 (original disk) though I was on 3 lives! Green Goblins 2,400 not bad - we've played the author's Android Attack as a Berzerk bonus before. He has a current thread on the main forum about his games. Zurk 1,570 also not bad Robot Dungeon (or possibly Droid Dungeon! - in game text!) I think I had 2300 but I missed the score despite carlsson's warning that you don't see it at the end of your go! You also have no idea on how many lives you have left. Looks interesting, wonder if there's more to it, but could do with a shot sound effect! Maniac! 470 OK You guys it's included - darn stupid game but strangely addictive. You cab learn the screens and position your gun before entering them. []Oops forgot to play Escape from Syntron ! ... Wizard of Wor 73,100 Yes the game should have manual firing! Escape from Syntron 6,900 I found a pretzel thing and the M turned me blue, if you lose a man it gets dropped again... Looks like there are a smallish set of rooms and, wild guess, I bet we have to escape somehow?! Better find the instructions!

+therealbountybob Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Escape from Syntron Info comments from atarimania: >>> Jon - 30/05/2006 This is a shortened/revised version of the syndocs.bas file that originally accompanied this program:"The... slow-ness of our hero... was done purposely, because you will need to be able to control him in a pinch.The object of this game is not to score points or shoot all of the monsters, but to make your way down to your spaceship. There are 3 ball-shaped keys for each level, and they'll be in the same place every time, so mapping the cave is a good idea. The doors to the next level down will be blocked until you find all three keys on a particular level. After getting the three keys, look around the outer rooms in the maze to find the entrance to the next level.An M-shaped "Mysterian" appears from time to time. Most of the time when you touch it, you will be given a blue shield which gives you an extra life (you can only wear one shield at a time). Occasionally, however, you will die if you touch it. It is your decision.The block-shaped blue monsters are 'breeders.' They spawn the smaller, oval beings. As you work your way down to the levels, you will notice their breeding activity increasing. <<< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Ok, I think I'm done with WOW. Made it to Dungeon 16 with a score of 167,500! After dungeon 12, you get an extra life, but the next level is "The pit." No hiding places...just run and shoot your @$$ off. I actually made it out of there losing only 1 life. The trick to this game is simply to find a spot where you can sit and wait and pick them off as they come to you. Find a short hallway, where there are only 1 or 2 ways they can get to you...then stand your ground. I guess I'll try some of the bonus games now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
