I played it yesterday. It is really nice. The controls are a bit ... what is the word... 'Laggy'? Just like Escape from Epsilon. Both very nice games in BASIC, but the controls are slightly frustrating. Very nice though. I still love them. I had them on Tape back in the day. Loading with CLOAD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The V-Man Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Of course I'm bias on this one, my young self was proud to get this game out on to Compute magazine back in March 1985. https://archive.org/details/1985-03-compute-magazine/page/n43/mode/1up Here is a link to the ATR file I posted a while back for those who do not wish to type it in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggn Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 The first thing that comes to mind is Bounder from Atari User vol 3 no 2 (http://www.atarimania.com/mags/pdf/Atari-User-Vol-3-No-02.pdf). Partly because I liked the game a lot, partly because it was the first big type-in I wrote (and my first Atari magazine ever), and partly because the listing had bugs which we had to fix.

777ismyname Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I was just playing about with Risky Rescue, which I always dug. For kicks and giggles I ran it through ABC Compiler and the results are kind of comical - as in unplayable. I've thought a good bit about porting it to Fast Basic and TBXL. My favorite ANALOG magazine game was the QIX clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+davidcalgary29 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I spent far too much time in the 8th grade playing "Dinoventure", from 1985. And wow -- no votes for "BASIC Burger"? I probably put in more hours on that one than most of the commercial games I owned as a teen! It took me ages to type in "Risky Rescue" because of all those ATASCII special characters -- this was one of my least favourite type-in experiences. "Advent X" was lots of fun -- I think that this was the first text adventure that I completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
