fultonbot Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) This is a demo of the 7800 game for Xmas named "7800 Xmas : Santa Vs. The Nightmares". The pokey music player is done, and the basic game allows you to fly the sleigh and shoot the nightmares with Christmas bulbs from Rudolph's nose. Nothing is complete. TBD -lose reindeer when hit -fewer reindeer mean you can only fly a limited height -Collect presents to gain back reindeer JS7800: Atari 7800 Emulator (raz0red.github.io) 7800xmas.bas.a78 Edited December 20, 2020 by fultonbot 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlidellMan Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Aside from the enemies going through Santa and his reindeer, this is quite solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plan to have that done soon. It's complicate by the segmented movement, so I left it until later.

Shawn Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Pretty fun so far and I'm a total sucker for Xmas themed games. You are onto something here for sure. Any chance the enemy's will get color or are they using that greyscale look cause you prefer it? Do you plan on restricting the playfield movement so the ground can't be flown threw? Can't wait to try your next updated release of this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fultonbot Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 I updated the demo to have restricted movement. I still let Santa go partially back off the screen because he's sleigh is so long, but it needs to optimized: JS7800: Atari 7800 Emulator (raz0red.github.io) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Back Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Ah yes I downloaded and played this demo over the holidays last year. I like this gentlemen's ideas and his work is great, I'd love to own this or Orion on a cart one day if he ever is able to make it happen.
