Astromeda with Autofire fix...

+CharlieChaplin · October 3, 2019

A while ago I converted "Astromeda" from tape to disk with various C-Simulator programs. Since the tape is single stage, all of these versions worked fine (I could even create an XEX file easily), but to my surprise none of them worked with autofire... even the original tape did not work correct with autofire enabled.

So, a few days ago I contacted Fandal and asked him if he could fix it and as almost always, he did. The attached version works fine with autofire now (and it also works without it, for those guys who think that autofire is cheating). The game still has its flaws, e.g. a hit from the alien spaceships will always kill you, while its possible that you hit the alien spaceships several times and nothing happens (you can shoot right thru their left or right wing and they do not explode, looks like you must hit them in the center). But anyways, at least the autofire problem is fixed now. Maybe this is interesting for other Atarians too, so I upload the fixed version here... and thank Fandal for fixing this !

Now if someone has the motivation to fix some other flaws of Astromeda, it would be appreciated for sure... ;-)
