+Armscar Coder Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 Thanks to everyone for their feedback. I especially appreciate the positive comments from my fellow developers, all of which have created some really cool games of their own. Even though I may have a second Atari 2600 game under my belt, I know I still have a lot to learn. On 3/7/2022 at 5:26 AM, Thomas Jentzsch said: I looked into your code and there seem to be quite some options for optimizing (e.g. ZP,Y instead of ZP,X costs one byte) @Thomas Jentzsch, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Any little nuggets such as this one that that can expand my programming knowledge is truly appreciated. FYI, I have started a RAPTOR patch list in the first post. I will do my best to add additional patch earners in the order that the scores are posted, either in this forum or in the 2600 High Score Club forum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Here's my latest: 1,602. This does it for me as I will be traveling out of town and won't have any more time to play/test for now. The game is playing well (haven't come across any issues) and highly addictive. @Armscar Coder Thanks for sharing the ROM. ? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarian7 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I didn't see it in the instructions. How many boomerang bombs do you get per wave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eegad Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Just gave it a try. Very nice! Overall look and feel reminds me of Activision games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Armscar Coder Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 Here is a picture of the sample patch. Anyone scoring 1000 points or more on RAPTOR is eligible for a free patch. Just send me a PM with a photo of your game screen (emulator screen shots are fine too.) 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Al_Nafuur Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 @Armscar Coder has adapted RAPTOR so that it can be used in the PlusROM High Score Club. Andrew has put a lot of effort into the details of the game, and it is a great pleasure to play it. All those who reach 1000 points and more with their PlusCart or emulator will be rewarded with a beautiful virtual patch in the HSC. As always, PlusCart user/tester can find the PAL60, and NTSC versions in the PlusStore directory "Public ROMs\PlusROMs\High Score Club" or in "Recently Added ROMs" for the next few days. The NTSC version can be played online in javatari.js. The ROM-file can also be played with Gopher2600, or the newest version of Stella.

Keep at it, you’ll be able to reach the goal. I was stuck ~600 points when I first starting playing the game, but I couldn’t put it down.

+Armscar Coder Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Quick update: The RAPTOR patches arrived about two weeks ago. I started shipping them last week with the last batch going out yesterday. The ones going to recipients in the USA should be delivered this week and hopefully the international ones soon to follow. Discovering the Atari homebrew scene has definitely opened up opportunities for me to interact with individuals from all over the globe, and for that I am so grateful. Case in point, the eight RAPTOR patches awarded so far represents AtariAge members from four different countries and three continents. Here a couple of pictures of the patches. The RAPTOR binary has been released for almost two months now. With no bugs reported, I think I am ready to call the game complete. We still have some work to do with the cartridge labels and box design. But, that should be wrapped up in a month or so. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I forgot to post my patch from the last stream of ZPH! Thank you so much again Andrew for making an incredible game and also for the amazing looking patches! - James 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vitoco Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Is it too late for a patch? Played with the PlusCart, so I got the 5th place in its HSC with 1053 points. I tried it for many days, using both the 7800 with the arcade type joystick and the 2600 light sizer with the standard Atari joystick. Guess where did I get more points!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just send me a PM with where to send it and I'll take care of the rest. Congratulations! I have also added you to the patch list in the very first post. I am not sure how many patches I will give out. I have been giving some to family and friends. But there are still plenty right now. For anyone else who obtains a 1000+ point score, don't hesitate to send me your screenshot and where to send the patch. You don't have to post it here. You can just send me a PM. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
