emkay Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Is it compatible to the ST's MIDI MAZE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZylonBane Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Hrm... the one game screenshot isn't very telling. Might want to punch up that section a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 ... the creation year is funny... 1987 on the cardridge-label 1989 on the ingame-screenshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Is it compatible to the ST's MIDI MAZE? Yes, it is compatible with ST's MIDI Maze, although I have not personally verified this yet. Would be interesting to see a network of Atari 8-bit and ST machines all running MIDI Maze. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emkay Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Well ... inter-ATARI games are reminding me about my "XL-ST-Schiffeversenken" i wrote in 1988. German REVIEW on the top of this site. The game works via SIO2ST-Interface. It was the result of examining the SIO/serial protocol. For loading the XL Game you simply had to boot the ST Disk and switching on the XL(without a floppy) and the Game was loaded automatically from the ST...

SS Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Hee hee. Gophers and golf were so inexorably linked in the 80’s! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Very Caddyshack-ish :-) If anyone who buys XE Midi-Maze and wants to play against an ST User email me and I can email you a zip file with the ST version of Midi-Maze for you, I tried out Mark's MIDI Maze game, it kicks ass, you can even send chat messages to your opponents!!! I would love to see a group of XE's and ST's playing this at Phillyclassic 5 this coming spring!!! Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Shame this would cost me A$120 by the time I add shipping... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Well, you're talking about buying two copies, is Sunmark offering a discount if you buy a 2nd or 3rd game? I would think most people would want to buy 2 games minimum so they can setup 2 systems for head to head play or two friends would go in on buying a pair of games so they can play over the modem... The game does play 1 player against the computer, but honestly playing against a real human, and sending instant messages at one another simply rocks, its a lot more fun!!! :-) Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 I was a member of my local atari 8 bit users group at the time (which was 90s,) not a lot of us left. but the group had a lot of history, and had made a name for itself before I joined (here in jacksonville,) it was a 'first' something but I dont remember what (maybe first computer users group in the south or first atari users group in the US or something, but there was something they were understandably very proud of,) anyhoo, we beta-tested this game long ago, with hand made link cables made out of atari drive cables with paperclips stuck in em. I'm sorry my memory isn't better, but I had an absolute blast beta-testing this game. I still have some of the floppies and paperwork somewhere. I loved that group (sniff,) it lasted until just before the jaguar died, and the group kind of died with Atari becoming JTS (sniff again,) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that group (sniff,) it lasted until just before the jaguar died, and the group kind of died with Atari becoming JTS (sniff again,) I seem to have ended up with about 20 or so PD disks from JACE, many of them containing "dirty" game hacks (what DID you guys do in that group?), and I'd be happy to send them off to you if you'd like to be the "official keeper" of the JACE flame.

Godzilla Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 heheee that was before my time there. They did give me all that remains of their disk archive before they dissapaited. Since I was relatively new, it seemed I was the only one still interested in trying to keep it alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
