bradhig1 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 After seeing Adventure II on the 7800 it makes me wonder if an adventure like game could be made on the 7800 maybe even the old dos game indenture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Adventure II on the 7800? Are you thinking about Adventure II that is a homebrew for the 5200 and 8-bit computer line maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Pac-Lander Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Wow! Even though I don't really follow the 5200 the same way I try to be knowledgable of all things 7800, I'm ashamed to say that I've never seen this game before. Adventure 2 looks amazing!!! Anyone out there think a homebrew version of this is possible on the 7800? Aside from side scrollers, real-time adventure RPGs is the #1 category lacking in the 7800 library. I think making the main character sprite an actual character (and not a block) would be a big upgrade and that this game could look visually incredible on the ProSystem. Can you imagine this game with 7800 graphics with a main character looking something like this? - 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was actually a vote on this and the square won out. Having said that, it is possible to change the main character's appearance in the game. But the square was an artist decision done on purpose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get stuck and the way the square moves at angles since it is smaller is the best way imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Here are some demo vids if Adventure II XE since you never heard of it. It would be cool for someone to make an all new and unique Adventure homage for 7800. It could easily support scrolling, colorful displays with multicolored sprites and no flickering. I would not advise naming it Adventure III however, else you risk litigation! Mind you, a 5200 / XE version could likewise support more detailed player sprites and scrolling if programmed with those things on mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it could just be called "Adventure II" and it could be a direct port. Or if it's a unique quest, a simple rename would work. "Adventure 7800" or something. As far as the character sprite, wouldn't a small main character sprite work? I just think having a character like this would make the whole experience better: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Usotsuki Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Robot Odyssey? XD That's sort-of a spiritual successor to a spiritual successor. Even has a Warren Robinett room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
