atwwong Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Haunted Adventure - Boo! is the revised version of Haunted Adventure with additions that were not possible without the optimized Adventure code and lots of help from you Atari fans! Haunted Adventure – Boo! game changes from Adventure: · all corridors and background changed graphically to be more like Haunted House · almost all colours changed · additional scenes · mazes changed and coding for invisible mazes and scene differences for games 2 and 3 vs. game 1 · entrances have replaced castles · all item locations changed · items and graphics changed: -skull (chalice) -sceptre (sword) (thanks James Francis) -ladder (bridge) with some coding for size difference -dismembered hand (magnet) -bat looks more like Haunted House bat -eye (dot) -keys look like Haunted House key -level select numbers similar to HH -1E room -ghosts (dragons) · all ghosts have unique graphics (thanks James Francis for the original old man Graves graphics concept) · speed change in ghosts · three ghosts in game one · one key changed into a shovel with new coding (thanks Nukey Shay) · doors (portcullises) slightly enlarged and have crosses · one door changed into a grave with coding (thanks Nukey Shay) · 2 bytes free Porting everything to the optimized code allowed for more flexibility and fun. I've managed to (with lots of help from Nukey and Brian) fill up everything except for 2 bytes in a 4k program. I've made some significant changes from the original Haunted Adventure that you will notice (and maybe not) if you've played the original. In the html manual, I've tried to credit everyone who has helped on this project; if I have forgotten you, let me know and I'll include you in the manual that Rhindle is making and update the html one. This is the version that Rhindle is making the cart label art and manual for the AtariAge store. Unless someone finds a horrible bug, this will be the final version. Again, I'd like to thank everyone who helped out or made comments in the forums; all the encourage made this the more enjoyable. Yes, I'm supposed to be studying but this "project" keep haunting me! Now, as I keep telling everyone, it's time for me to hit the books, after I hit the bed! Keep on adventuring!

atwwong Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 There was a glitch in a map in the Storage area that affected gameplay, although you could still win (the error occurred when maps were being moved around to avoid crossing over pages). This has been fixed. Also, the html manual has been updated to give Out_of_Gas credit for naming Haunted Adventure, as well as cleaning up some of the pictures and adding a couple more... This is most likely the final version. haunted_adventure___boo__fixes_01.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 Very cool - reminds me more of a hack between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Haunted House One suggestion - when the white dragon, I mean Ghost - Opens its mouth it is a bit akward looking - otherwise this is a very interesting twist on some classics!

atwwong Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Very cool - reminds me more of a hack between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Haunted House Hey! I loved Raiders! I never thought of that! One suggestion - when the white dragon, I mean Ghost - Opens its mouth it is a bit akward looking - otherwise this is a very interesting twist on some classics!Hmmm... which looks better? (see below) Depending on comments, I may change the final release to v102 (StanJr's gonna hate me ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out_of_Gas Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Ghost attacking v101 Classic ghost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 ...Opens its mouth it is a bit akward looking "Ghost's" attack causes its body to expand (shock value for first time players); no changes to graphics will be made. I will leave the final version as "fixes01" (4 posts above) with the bin file date of 06/02/2004 2:37AM. (The initial bin release version dated 05/30/2004 08:27 PM has a bug.)

Kenwood Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 IS this going to make it to Cart format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Yes, the plan is to make an official cart. I received some preliminary artwork from Rhindle but he's very busy with his new job. I'll try to get in touch with him ASAP to find out how he is progressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atwwong Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 Update: Rhindle the Red has promised to have the Haunted Adventure - Boo! label art and manual finished by Halloween! To celebrate this and satisfy my current hacking urge, and since there hasn't been an update to the 2600 hack page, I'm going to drive whomever's going to update that page crazy by releasing a Haunted Adventure - Boo! final update: V.103 Final - Sounds changed the attack sound, player dying sound, and ghost disappearing sound (to be like the sequel); nothing else because I only have 2 bytes free. haunted_adventure___boo_v103.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
