Scott Stilphen Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 The maximum is 180! (18 rows of 10 each). Once you get this, all subsequent intermission screens are the same (never resets). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty fun and seems fairly complete - any ideas why it wasn't released? Well, Starpath originally made this game as a Supercharger game. At some point, Epyx bought out Starpath (or somehow got the rights to their games, I'm a little unclear on what happened there), and then eventually Atari bought out Epyx. So, at this point, Atari decided to try adapting some of Starpath's games for cartridges instead of cassettes. Rabbit Transit is the only one I know of that has actually been dumped, though there may be others floating around. As for why Atari never released them, I would guess that the crash hit, and they pulled the plug. It was already pretty late before Atari acquired Epyx. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 Haha! Was that hard work or a hack Scott? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted December 19, 2001 Author Share Posted December 19, 2001 I admit, I hacked it to get that far. Although I think the highest I got "straight up" was around 12 rows. The first scene gives me more trouble than the "ledge" one, so I erased all the enemies . The second screen is easy. Just work it so that you have the guy drop the "diamond" thing down the center of the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Yeah, I know that technique well... You get crazy kamikaze with that damned diamond to give yourself enough time to change all three before the farmer gets back; you learn to jump opposite of the direction he'll be coming from to shave off even more time for yourself. Oh yeah. Hmm, I don't think I ever wrote down the most bunnies I ever got. Of course, in the heat of a game, we'd often skip that scene anyway... Then when you died, it was too late to see how you'd done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cschell Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 So, is this limit on the Supercharger version, the cart version, or both? Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Stilphen Posted December 20, 2001 Author Share Posted December 20, 2001 This was on the Atari version, though I'd guess the Starpath version isn't any different (there isn't any room to add more...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
