baktra Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 Now we also have the open question of the "START" button. The "START" button should start the game from the main menu. With emulators, this works. Does it work with the real 5200 too? 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/310166-possible-train-game-port-keypad-controls-questions/page/3/#findComment-5276322 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, for getting this game to work and adjusted. Baking... I think now you can sprinkle on the same sugar, and pull the rest of these out of the oven.

baktra Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 The bumpy ride continues. The game doesn't work with the 2-port model firmware. It just crashes during the first VBI. Ouch. So, there will be one more version, which will fix that.

baktra Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Version 1.3, which supports also the 2-port model of the Atari 5200 console, is available: https://github.com/baktragh/train_5200_ose/releases/latest 3 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/310166-possible-train-game-port-keypad-controls-questions/page/3/#findComment-5390780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udderdude Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Wish I had known about this game sooner. 99% of snake clones are the exact same "One level with no actual design to it and random objects thrown about". A snake clone with actual level design and multiple levels is pretty unique.

A snake clone with actual level design and multiple levels is pretty unique. Thanks. The credit for that concept should go to the author of the original game for PC. We, in BAHA Software, took the game and ported it to the 8-bit Atari and 5200, including the layout of the screens. The graphics are different, because the original game was written for IBM PCs with VGA (320x200x256) and it doesn't translate that great to ANTIC+GTIA. TRAIN 2 and TRAIN 3 have original levels, meticulously designed by @HardCore(BAHA). 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/310166-possible-train-game-port-keypad-controls-questions/page/3/#findComment-5391332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
baktra Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 From the 8-bit Atari area, I would recommend good old Nibbler (1983), or modern Nibbly (2006).
