popmilo Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Many years ago @Yaron Nir had an idea to port Limbo from PC/C64 to Atari. Discussion lasted for couple years, many suggestions were made, but no real progress or actual coding took place. Well now after many years, Yaron has produced a nice demo and asked me to publish it, so here it is. So for anyone who loved Limbo pc game, here's an example on how it could've looked on Atari: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CharlieChaplin Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Boy, I Wonder if this will ever be completed. Or: Will Wonder Boy ever be completed ? Call me the negative one, but based on several released game demos by Yaron Nir, I don't think so. (Afair, none of his shown game demos were ever finished and released as full playable games.)

It's just a demo, since the original limbo creators haven't given permissions. Pretty cool to see it running so nicely on VBXE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhor Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Rather than mimic the original I would only keep the foreground and change the main actor and some technics. It is not forbiden by the copyrights, isn't? Otherwise we will end up with nice demo, but still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmilo Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 It is just a demo. You can't really do much more with ripped sprites from commercially released game. And yes, for sure it's possible to code a nice limbo/inside like game with dark mood and deadly traps. On vbxe it can look like modern indie pc game. @CharlieChaplin challenge accepted 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steril707 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Also think Yaron should try to get something finished. He seems like a talented guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Kudos to people that finish a game, it's a tought task. You start out with a lot of enthusiams but then it wears off... BTW, thank you for Tony Vladimir. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xebec Posted Thursday at 10:45 AM Share Posted Thursday at 10:45 AM Really cool! Just saw a demo of this on Youtube. Limbo was a fun and unique game, cool to see this running on a8 at all :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's done using vbxe for sprites so not exactly pure old atari Similar game would be possible on ordinary atari too, just not with such mixed multicolor+hires combo.
