I actually have a spare colour available for the background but I decided to stick to 2 because I don't want it to be distractingly busy. Being able to use extra RAM to get around limitations like the tile limit and lack of transparency definitely allows it to look much better than it otherwise could. Yes. It rivals the NES in many ways and I could see the NES doing this with 8K of VRAM but it wouldn’t be easy. Nice job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SmittyB Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 New build. Changes include - Progress is correctly saved at the end of each level instead of just when getting a high score. Added a transition from the game screen to the high score screen. Pressing RESET goes to the high score screen from the game screen. Colours are corrected for PAL consoles. Level count has increased to 66. Up / Down skip 10 levels at a time in stage select mode. If you complete a level you must play the next one. (Prevents players replaying easy levels to build score). To do- Add / improve sound effects. Add AtariVox speech. Add more levels. Play on JS7800 PlumbLuckDX_220919_1425.a78 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecernosoft Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Everything is ok.... except it has "Timing problems" on my NTSC stock atari 7800. ; The second one gets worse as time goes on. Playing the actual game, these glitches go away. Edited October 2, 2022 by Ecernosoft 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily, hands down, the best looking 7800 game I have seen. Minus rikki and vikki of course!!! (Or Midnight mutants) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SmittyB Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 Thought I'd better post the current build before the end of the year. I haven't worked on this much recently but compared to the previous build there are now 95 levels and a set of sound effects provided by the AtariVox to make up for the current lack of TIA effects.
