TrekMD Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Damn, the art on all these new game boxes is simply awesome! Another insta-buy! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Love the poster and map. The map is perfect in giving the player an idea of how much territory there is to cover, and what areas there are to explore, without giving all the secrets and entire routing away. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+BitJag Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I didn't have a 7800 growing up, this meant that I went from the 2600 straight to the Atari Jaguar (outside of the 8-bit and 16-bit personal computers). Working on this game, and playing some of the available builds has convinced me that I need to invest in this console just for this game. It scratches a strange itch for me. It's a great mix of Legend of Zelda and Joust, both games I enjoy. Having the opportunity two work on the artwork and packaging for this game was quite satisfying as well, and it's work that I'm quite proud to have in my portfolio. @Revontuli was a joy to work with! With his and @Albert's valuable feedback and ideas, the final packaging came out beautifully. I hope others enjoy it, along with the game as well. Before it's release in the AtariAge store, enjoy this timelapse of the box art illustration, as well as some concept art for the harpy herself. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkangel Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Does the game work on 2600+? Sorry to be *that guy* who asks (people seem to criticise/be annoyed if you do). Shipping to Australia is a lot through anyone, I don’t have an 7800 and didn’t want to spend money on a game that doesn’t work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2600+ has had a couple of updates - I'm not able to test Harpy's Curse on the 2600+ personally but I believe that most 7800 games should work at this point (barring one or two like Rikki&Vikki and PETSCII Robots, both of which use *very* distinct ROM layouts). I do know that getting the emulation working is very much a priority. Games like EXO *do* work now (so Harpy's curse *should*), and there's an interest to get the homebrew stuff working as much as possible.

We just were able to update to the 1.1-REV2-Beta firmware and can confirm that it does work with a 7800 controller. (I used a RetroGameBoyz 7800 gamepad.) When we had a Joy2b+ gamepad plugged in, it did not seem to recognize it for input (unable to navigate the menu or anything). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revontuli Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 I'm working on a few videos - perhaps some hints and strategies for a few of my games. To get started, I have a video of Harpy's Curse showing a pretty good route for getting started: I haven't seen much gameplay online showing the basic "swoop" attack - folks seem to have had trouble figuring it out or using it in a lot of streams I've watched. You press the attack button when in the air, above an enemy. Birds of prey generally don't shoot or punch things, they usually fly above their prey, get them in their sights, and strike! I wanted to show that the normal attack can be both useful and powerful with a bit of timing. The harpy can be a menace even before grabbing any power ups! You can also change direction and cancel the swoop - leading to a few cases where it speeds up traversing the maze dramatically. The route shows a heart extension, the Gorgon Feather, and a boss - again, a pretty good start to exploring the giant maze. I also venture to say the game is very speedrunnable with various challenges (any%, 100%, no powerups, etc.) - I'm kind of curious how folks have faired if they've tried any playthroughs like that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
