phonedork Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Awesome job on the conversions! If you do get that itch again to convert a game. Please do Dungeons and Dragons from the Intellivision! Always loved that game! Thanks for the games sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ryan Witmer Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 Calling this release candidate 1. I don't quite have all the intermission music yet, but I'm pretty sure the game play stuff isn't going to change unless someone finds a bug. This build has the string Release candidate 1, 9/20/2022 256 bytes from the end of the file. Here's a short list of the changes that I remember: Made the controller dead zone slightly larger to make the controls less sensitive. Messed around a little with sound priorities. Intermission 2 now has its music. The same music plays for intermissions 1 and 3, but it doesn't really fit right. Perhaps most importantly, I managed to complete the heart stage. It took me awhile, but when I did it, it was on a single life! I see no need to make any difficulty adjustments, learn to use those doors and you can make it. So here she is. Once I get the music, I'll do a proper final release with source code if all goes well. robnbanks_rc1.bin 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGHMW Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I just got home early from work (due to Social Security salary cap issues) and have the rest of this calendar week off, so I will download this and try her out as soon as I'm done posting this reply (I'm currently on my tablet).

+Ryan Witmer Posted September 28, 2022 Author Share Posted September 28, 2022 OK, this is it. Rob 'n' Banks 1.0. Identifier is Release 1.0, 9/27/2022 256 bytes from the end of the file, as always. This includes the last of @Synthpopalooza's excellent intermission music, along with a couple graphical tweaks. Also, complete source code is included, I expect someone will pop out an A8 conversion within a couple weeks.

BIGHMW Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) I'll make sure to review this on the all-new Atari 5200 SuperReport and let the whole world know how this one plays!!! I just have to upload this to my SD card on my Atarimax, play it, clean myself up (to look presentable on camera) and then I'll be filming a batch of episodes and this will be on one of them!!! In part, this is why the 5200 SuperReport was put on hold for a while, it was in anticipation of this now-instant classic (not unlike some sports on that old ESPN network of that same name), as I wanted to be one of if not the first to review it myself, see ya on the 1st!!!

BIGHMW Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Well, David, I did put Barnstorming a while ago as my debut episode and maybe you can critique my work on the SuperReport (so I can improve on my presentation skills) once that episode is uploaded, you'll find all episodes on my Ray Jackson YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/RayJacksonbighmw Edited September 28, 2022 by BIGHMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB5200 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 This final release is super, all three intermissions music is awsome, and very nice touch on the car wheels, that really picks it up a notch. This is just a superb piece of work. Thank you to all involved on this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ryan Witmer Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 Some info about the cover art: I was contacted very early in development by @Henry Lee, who offered to do the art. If you don't know, he's the artist who did the cover for Beef Drop. I've always thought of Lock 'n' Chase and Burgertime as "sister games," since they both ran on the same Data East arcade hardware. I thought it would be really cool to have the same artist for the 5200 versions of both games. He did some fantastic work and everything came out great. Can't wait to get my hands on a real copy at PRGE next month. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With so many new games coming available at the same time, might have to spread orders out but don't want to miss anything (lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ryan Witmer Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 I found a small issue in the 1.0 binary. Not a huge deal, but the Game Over screen wasn't showing up unless you set a high score. I've made up a 1.01 version with the tag Release 1.01, 10/2/2022 256 bytes from the end. Attached is the corrected build and source code. robnbanks.zip 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ryan Witmer Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Much to my eternal embarrassment, found another small glitch that needed fixing. The high score detection was bugged and sometimes detected high scores that weren't. So here's Release 1.02, 10/4/2022 with updated source code. robnbanks.zip 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
