+DZ-Jay Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Hmm … I think that if that bank invested a little more in security than in building doorways, it’ll probably not be robbed as much. Just kidding! It looks cool. ? dZ. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Interesting trivia: During arranging the music, I mentioned West Bank (Dinamic) for the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC, which obviously was an unlicensed clone of Bank Panic. As it turns out, Elite Software at one point must've planned to make a proper port of Bank Panic for the C64, but either they could not obtain the rights or something else got in the way. At the same time, Gremlin Graphics picked up the rights to West Bank and were looking to port it to the C64, and somehow the Elite developers must've met up with them and offered the unfinished Bank Panic game, which obviously got released as West Bank. Sometimes the world is smaller than you first would've thought! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik's Arcade Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I'm almost ready to drop an early alpha build of my first port. I'm going to need a lot of 'suggestions' and 'constructive criticism'....LMAO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinjinhawke Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Bank Panic purchased. Thank you. Great fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMBerzerk Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Great job on this one! Another example of what the Intellivision could have been like had they paid closer attention to the arcades and put out more titles of less-popular games that were a lot of fun to play. Definitely going to purchase and put on the Retropie! Any chance for a larger box graphic for the menu boxart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume that would've been an INTV Corp title, or possibly third party since the arcade game Bank Panic was released in 1984, the same year that INTV took over. To be honest, there only seems to be official home versions for SG-1000, SMS (both Sega obviously) and MSX (published through Pony Canyon). Sure, anyone could've done what Dinamic/Gremlin did above, make a clone but as noted in the GTW64 comments, that game was mostly sold at budget price and included in compilations in 1986/87. To which extent Sega bothered about home versions for C64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC is beyond my knowledge and probably they would not have bothered about Intellivision neither by that time, but the question is if "budget" Intellivision games were a thing back then. Also I can report that the full ROM is 68 kilobytes. Hand coded in assembly and use of EXEC probably could shave off quite a bit of that, but anything beyond 16 kilodecles had obviously been one of the larger games. Perhaps the game could be simplified a lot both in terms of graphics and music, but then it would not have looked anything like this homebrew 35 years later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Perhaps my predecessor at INTV could have made something similar, using whichever built-in music player the system supports. In the mean time, I found exactly 3 more Bank Panic clones: Gunshoot (Amiga 1988), Bang! Bank! (Atari 8-bit 1992) and Saloon City (ZX81, 2012). It means that your version of Bank Panic might (I haven't researched past 1992) be the 10th home version ever, past versions for SG-1000, MSX (Colecovision?), SMS, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, C64, Amiga, Atari 8-bit and ZX81. Thus it doesn't seem like a game concept ported over and over, meaning that if the Intellivision folks had picked it up early on, it may have seemed a bit esoteric choice of an arcade game to port. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
