Vin_the_2600_Man Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Here is a port of Enduro from the 2600. Thanks to glurk for the disassembly based on Omegamatrix's. Also to phaeron for the sound routine. Included are .xex, .car and a 5200 version. NTSC and PAL supported. -Vin the 2600 Man. enduro.zip 33 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam242 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Enduro was already ported to the 8-bits, it's called The Great American Cross Country Road Race. But seriously, thank you for this! Thanks to you, glurk, phaeron and others we are amassing quite a collection of 2600 ports. Still hoping someone would take on Dark Cavern and/or Pressure Cooker... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Very cool to play Enduro on 5200 just now. About 40 years after the 2600 version was released, where have the years gone. In Altirra, it seemed near identical - the tires always look a bit different from the OG 2600 tires (to me), but the Pokey sound Fx sound the same (the icey road whoosh sounded a bit louder I noticed), and no Pause functionality was added. Thanks to all involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 very nice! thank you for this. The more of these that get done, the more fun there is. There's just something about a direct 2600 port that makes a smile come across the faces of people who see and play it. What a great job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaeron Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Nice port. Engine sound seems a little off, probably because of the different form of the poly5 generator between TIA and POKEY -- it is on the clock instead of the output. I wonder if there's a different formulation that would be closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No! The games have actually a lot in common but they have a rather different gameplay and goal. I love both games, but the more simple concept of Enduro has always been something that I missed a lot on a8. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though not an adventure game, the sense of competition/adventure I felt with Enduro was expanded upon beautifully with TGACCR but I am glad we have both. Because sometimes I just want a quick race without file finding or load waiting. So for that reason, though I will download this to the collection I will probably stick with the cart version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poison Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 very nice port, thank you But is possible to do port of game which is not on atari ? For example Double Dragon (there is not game like that), Kung-fu Master, Hide and Seek and etc . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikor Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Kung Fu Master exist on 2600, so... Not bad version, anyway...

I only mention it because to this day, racing games / simulations are my all time favourite. Especially with VR and a really nice wheel & pedal setup. The love affair started all the way back in 1978 for me, with the ice mode of Indy 500. That's where I learned to drift. I cannot believe how far we've come since then, it's been an amazing journey and I can't wait to see where it continues! I absolutely loved GACCR - I always pretended I was playing Smokey and the Bandit That's an idea for a great game.

Ok, i'm not english native speaker, so maybe better sentence is: return to "Enduro" 😜 But, it will be good point to build new, enhanced version, but different then "The Great America Cross Country Road Race", where had some code from original "Enduro" game... So... "Return to Enduro" will be good concept for new game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 or Enduro Returns would be a nice homebrew name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the endearing qualities of Enduro is the simplicity and flow of the game. I wouldn't want to see it made any more complex. So some homebrew enhancements might be snow and rain particles, brake lights on your car, the ability to select different courses, the ability to take different routes within a course, hills, maybe a roadside attraction or two. Mainly all of the above is graphical enhancement, as gameplay needs to remain intact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
