Beeblebrox Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) BTW would be amazing if the title/splash screen was a new Beta 10 Rasta converter generated image, or at the very least a Graph 2 font image, (if size is an issue).

Just love to see more rc in games, especially now it's enhanced and better than ever. Same goes for g2f. 😁 Either way, looking forward to the game immensely.

adam242 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Any chance of us getting a version without that obnoxious PAL "no game for you!" check? I'll wager that it will just run just fine on an NTSC-50 (PAL ANTIC swapped NTSC) machine. Probably run on an NTSC machine too with potential glitches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Knight Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) Plays great on (PAL) 130XE, good to see this on an A8 after all this time. Dosent seem to like A8's with Rambo or compy memory for some reason. Just crashes once loaded up. Has anyone tried this with U1mb so far? Edited May 4 by Magic Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played it yesterday on my 130XE with U1MB set to 1024kB, game reported it all, and worked fine (though it is a difficult one, so far I did not manage to get out of the classroom :/). Otherwise, the machine has all-in: Sophia, VBXE, Stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+skr Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Gave it a quick run on Emulators: Crashes on Atari800MacX (different settings, no success) but runs fine in Altirra. But real hardware is better for plaiyng, anyway. Will test different setups tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
