Ute Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, Very sorry for the delay in answering. I started a side business last fall. Between that and my day job I have zero free time ?. Fantomas seems interested in finishing up so I will hand off what I have to him. Ute. Edit: I'm attaching a beta version here - It's a hard game and needs tweaking, but the infinite lives option should help. The end screens are not complete, so no complaints. Paul, thanks for all your help and feedback! ROF.xex Edited September 2, 2021 by Ute Reasons 16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Sorry Ute, life has become mega complicated, both medically and family wise....I wish I had had time to do the feedback, I apologise..

Mclaneinc Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 It's truly a lovely version, a credit to all involved, bar my inability to get focused to play the beta as I should have done. Again, apologies Ute.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Late to the party here. In the day I could practically walk through the game but it's looking like this one won't be so easy. A glitch I did notice (probably already been seen) - I paused for a while then when returning there was PMG noise but everything came good again when I resumed.

800XLNZ Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 My 9 year old nephew was fascinated by it, as was his 64 year old Atari enthusiast uncle. Hope the project continues to completion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ely Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Loving the fact it's finally out in beta form, but the difficulty is too much for a 50yo like me to make it enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I haven't been hooked so much by the classic game for a long time. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difficulty mirrors the C64 game that it's derived from, and trust me the C64 one is tough as nails, getting the spike jumping right is key. Also, there's more places you can jump onto as opposed to the original or am I mixing up Bruce Lee II on the C64. Probably...

dmx Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Hi! I just tested it! (With cheats - I had to, it's so tough, and all the timings are off compared to what I'm used to) - I managed to complete it - I even have a video of it, since I did it on Twitch. Anyway, it's very much playable, even if timing's "off" compared to the C64 version, but that's no big deal, it's just learning the version. The hardest room is the "multi-floor-light" part (3rd near the end) - that's practically impossible without cheating. I recommend slowing down those floor lights a notch A hint for floor lights is to keep jumping, don't run if you're not 100% sure what you're doing. Great work! If you need the music, I'd be happy to do them in RasterTracker for you. I got all the notes Here's another secret in the C64 version - don't tell anyone: If you jump far left in the first screen, you'll enter a dark room. Move to the left, then jump jup left, and you'll pick up a lamp and get an extra life, and "DMX" will light up. Now, if you did AFTER picking up the first two lamps, you'll get another extra life when you pick them. So you can start with 6 falls! But well done on the conversion! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Hiya DMX, glad you like the Atari version and thank you for helping so much, it's so good to have some positive C64 - Atari chatter. It's wonderful to see that, from our chat a while back, your game made it on to the Atari. Thank you and to all the guys on the Atari side that made it happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very kind of you @Ute but as I was possibly the only beta tester (initially), I didn't do a good job, especially considering how long I had it . So glad that others got to see it. Glad the advice helped.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peri Noid Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Nicely done. Pretty difficult, though. There are some elements which make it too difficult - jumps over spikes, which require almost pixel-perfect accuracy, for instance. The problem is, control in Bruce Lee never was too accurate.

bfollowell Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I can't recall what's going on with these for the A8. Is someone working on porting both of these to the A8, or is it only ROF, that is actively being ported? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Various people have been tackling this, Fantomas and Ute, from what Ute wrote it seems it's being handed over to Fantomas to 'finish it off'. As far as I know, only ROF is being done but as a Bruce Lee fan I'd love Bruce Leee II to be ported as well. Tiger Claw would also be welcome even though its a loose relation to Bruce Lee.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZPH Twitch Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/zeropagehomebrew/ Hi there, enjoyed the episode, wasn't expecting to get a mention, although I started the ball rolling all credit has to go to the programmers, without them this would have not past over to the Atari. All them, all I did was link them up. You had a wee issue with my nick name, just think Die Hard. Mclane as in John McClane (yes I forgot the right spelling) and Inc as in short for incorporated. The Inc is both a call to Nakatomi Inc in the film but also because I forgot my password for my old account which was just Mclane. Not a problem for me, just explaining, I've been called MUCH worse.. Laughed at the big glass of wine and accompanying bottle, to be honest, a perfect choice for Return of Fury as the hardness could drive you to drink, it won't make you play better, but it will cheer you up for landing on the spikes Will be watching again.. Paul.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
