Master Phruby Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Has someone ever finished the work on the Cloak & Dagger game for the 5200? I know the prototype is pretty buggy, no enemies and has no sound. Edited October 3, 2019 by Master Phruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The original programmer was toying around with adding to and finishing the prototype but he got busy and disappeared years ago. Since then no one has really tried, but a few people looked at it and said it would probably be better to start from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxpro Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Dave Comstock apparently gave up on it multiple times. He was working on the Atari 8-bit version, which would've then had to be converted to the 5200. He was dismayed over the single POKEY sound chip compared to the original arcade version, and RAM constraints. I guess nobody informed him of the Dual POKEY upgrades for A8 in the past couple of decades. He has a 2-part interview over at the Antic Atari 8-bit Podcast.
