darwinmac Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I cannot wait to start playing these games (oops, I meant judging - not really). Looking at the previews so far, it looks like another great year to be an ABBUC member. Bob C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I have both, PAL and NTSC machines. If an entry is NTSC only, no problem at all. But I guess, that most NTSC run well on PAL machines, only faster. The other way round seems to make more trouble. As a noob programmer in Germany, I would not know about how to code to ensure it runs on both, so I would just make it run on my machine, which is PAL and than probably have someone look at it. Forcing all entries to run on PAL and NTSC might keep some programmers from handing in something at all. That wouldn´t be good. But we surely can try to give even more advice on how to ensure programs run on all standards. I'm one of the 25% for a year now. I had a PAL Antic installed in my 1200XL since the early 2000's that I used with a 50/60Hz CBM 1084S monitor for years. When that went Belly-up (not for good!) I converted to full PAL and have used that for both PAL/NTSC gaming for the last 4 years or so using a modern LCD TV that handles NTSC/PAL. I've also had an NTSC 800 for a couple of years now. I do have a second NTSC 1200XL, but it hasn't been running for years and I haven't gotten around to fixing it. My point being, even as an American, I've had no issue with PAL/NTSC for 15+ years.

The JHV will be an online-JHV this year, taking place on november 14th, at 6p.m. So the results will be available no sooner than that (not in october as all the years before)... see e.g. the starting page of Abbuc www.abbuc.de 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily the best vertically scrolling shooter for A8's (besides AtariBlast!) in terms of graphics and game play combined, another new standard barer, IMHO. Not only do I think it makes up for a lack of a finished Xevious on the A8, but it is like an 8-bit Raiden in many ways. I have yet to make it to a first boss, however, but I've been really impressed thus far and look forward to a new addiction.
