Avram Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 If any of you can remember playing Paul Woakes' sublime Encounter I have a question. Whenever you completed a level you had to go race through a plane of coloured balls. Once this stage was completed you moved through a door to the next level. If, however, you stayed in, the door shut and you raced though the ball plane again, except at an incredibly high speed. Has anyone ever done this and knows what happens next? I could never last a second time round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video61 Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 hi, we have secured permission from paul woakes to release all three of his famous games on cartride for the atari 8-bit. we might even be able to release all three on one cartridge, that would be mercenary, mercenary second city, and encounter. if we cannot squeeze all three on to one cart we might have to release them seperatly, or maybe the 48k version of mercenary, and the 64k one on one cart, we will see, www.atarisales.com thanks, lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Wow! I would love to see Mercenary in cart form, I remember playing that eons ago. I don't remember if I ever played Encounter, I'll have to look up some information on it. If you can't get them all on one cart, then I hope to see the full versions separately. Please keep us posted! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
video61 Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 i have a working prototype of the 48k version of mercenary on cart right now, i am playing it looking for bugs. i hope to use the 64k european version instead, it has a bigger window for the first person perspective. i hope that the euro version scans good, then that might be the one we use. we usualy announce a cart on the atari8 news group, thanks, lance www.atarisales.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 Wouldn't the bigger window be due to the fact that it'd be in PAL? PAL has a larger television resolution (288 lines vs. NTSC's 240) which would account for a larger viewscreen, but it wouldn't be playable on NTSC systems.
