Rybags Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I noticed it yesterday on the Facebook page for Atari Museum. Initial impression was that it's just way too hard. Took me 15 attempts or more just to get past the first screen. But after watching a video of it on the Spectrum - you can do short jumps which makes things a whole lot easier. As I said on the post there - well done for porting a Z80 game and retaining the original's speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never gave it enough time to get past the first screen, it was so hard, I decided that if that is how it is for screen one then how frustrating is it going to be overall. It's nice that it has been ported, but way way way too hard.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 It's not too hard, it's challenging. My kid's will actually play this one. Many other games are too easy and 'boring' because they are too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Your 'challenging' is my 'too hard'.. I don't mind pixel perfect stuff, but when millisecond timing is added on top, it's just too hard (for me and others).. As I said, how hard is it going to be on later screens / levels.. I still play mad shooters when my spine is giving me a day off and the reactions are still pretty good. Not bad for an 'old boy'... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascrnet Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 published a version for Joy 2B+ "test version by its creator", so it is much easier to handle the two different jumps. ? abu-ntsc-2b.xex 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yautja Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 There seems to be an issue with the game. In screen number 4, despite I reached the requiered symbol, the door on the right will not open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+x=usr(1536) Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Out of curiosity, does anyone know if the first two games in the trilogy (Saimazoom and Babaliba) were ever available for the A8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felipe de Toro Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Hello! If someone is interested, here you can find different versions of the game for A8, including PAL, NTSC, english and spanish, with more information of how to play (long and short jump) and a version for 2 buttons joystick: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sLkuI52c6P0wBrewrEj1GT2hnSj94Mnp?usp=sharing Regards and have a happy new year! 12 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azdul Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 XEX version works fine on Altirra and even on my MiST FPGA, however I have huge problems starting it on real Atari XL. While trying to load XEX from SIO2SD, it just hangs after few seconds. I thought that it must be some SIO2SD weirdness, so I've decided to create bootable ATR file and write it to physical diskette. However, I'm unable to create bootable ATR file that would even work on Altirra. I've tried ATR created by dir2atr with various versions of MyPicoDos, and Altirra detects crash. I've tried MakeATR with Chaos Loader and the XEX would not load. I suspect that XEX interferes with I/O buffers or system procedures, but I'm not experienced enough to tell what's exactly going wrong. Had anyone succeeded with loading Abu Simbel Profanation from physical diskette ? Or even create bootable ATR version that would work on emulators ?

TGB1718 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Can't get it to run at all in Altirra, from SDX it has a memory conflict as it uses lower memory that SDX uses. Trying to load from SIDE3/U1M directly with no DOS and it crashes. this is the segment data of the file; This is the NTSC English version Segment 1: Load:0800 End:147B Size:0C7C Segment 2: Load:02E0 End:02E1 Run:0991 Segment 3: Load:147C End:8FE0 Size:7B65 Segment 4: Load:A000 End:B002 Size:1003 Segment 5: Load:B800 End:BF83 Size:0784 Segment 6: Load:03C0 End:03DF Size:0020 Segment 7: Load:0400 End:0504 Size:0105 Segment 8: Load:0508 End:0703 Size:01FC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
