Peri Noid Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I just tried on an NTSC 1200XL (OS rev.11) with 576KB of RAM and it didn't work. Maybe system incompatibility, I don't know. It hung after (during?) loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sikor Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I have 320KB Atari, but yes, 64KB will be excellent. So, any hope for this tittle yet? Maybe cartridge version will be simplest to end this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loaded it with Atari 800 Win, PAL and 1088K and it loaded fine. But do not really know what to do. Killed dozens of figures, collected dozens of coins and there seems to be nothing new. Looks like RTFM case to me... 🙂 ; ) In Flimbo generally you have to find blinking enemy that drops a scroll; when you pick the scroll you bring it to the shop; after few scrolls you are transported to next level; btw the shop passwords (from scrolls) are 6502 instructions (like sei or lda) and the shopkeeper shows it 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe cartridge version will be simplest to end this? Thats why it was on the hold (we did 9 another productions during "hold time") - because we want the game to work on 64kb Atari (from cartridge), same as on C64. For now only one small feature is proably going to be removed (not sure yet - no final tests) to have the game working on stock xl/xe. I know it should be finished in 2019 but after we came back to the Atari we just went all out of places (with productions), now its time to do the closures (for this and Mortal Kombat). I hope xd.

Jacques Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) After Lynx's MK is finished, maybe it would be portable as Atari8 VBXE version? But I hope FQ gets the "toppest" priority Edited July 18, 2023 by Jacques 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yautja Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 So, what happened with this project? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) I'd say a good number of irons in the fire, juggling a great number of objects, and real life makes the pile of projects take a bit longer than most of us can imagine. A little poking or prodding might be a reminder to keep the irons hot and the juggled objects in the rotation from time to time. It's a very nice piece of work so far.
