Games that use the 130XE's 128K

[Xebec's Demise]

I just searched for this info - 128k games, and I got Andreas Koch's FAQ over at Atarimania:

 

b) "Games" that support more than 64k RAM:

 

Adalmar (Falk Buettner, 64k Ramdisk, block E),

Alternate Reality: The City

Alternate Reality: The Dungeon (Philipp Price, 64k XRAM, block E),

Bop N’Wrestle (Mindscape, 64k XRAM, block E),

The Brundles (KE-Soft, up to 256k XRAM, E/AE/26AE),

Human Torch & the Thing (Questprobe, 64k XRAM, block E),

Megablast 1 (Thorsten Karwoth, 64k XRAM, block E),

Mental Age (???, 64k XRAM, block E),

[The Amazing] Spiderman (Questprobe, 64k XRAM, block E);

 

 

Are these the only confirmed games, only commercial games, or is the above list outdated?

Quite a number of polish/european games require 128k or more

 

All those card games by Joseph Chicko/Chiko require 128k

 

the Yie Ar Kung Fu game requires more then 128k

 

Airball (Cart version) requires 128k or more

[Xebec's Demise]

So what is the above list? Commercially released games?

[Wrathchild]

Airball (Cart version) requires 128k or more

No, the disk version dumped from the cart requires 128K,

but the Cart itself does run on a stock 64K machine.

Well,

as always my lists of programs that a) support or b) require extra RAM are incomplete and outdated. I tried not to make an absolutely complete list, just wanted to list some programs that I know or that I have been told to support/require XRAM.

 

The list mentioned here on atariage is part of the A8FAQ I wrote a long time ago. I have not updated it for many years... and err, the list mentioned above contains only programs that *support* XRAM (and not programs that *require* XRAM)...

 

Anyway, feel free to update my A8FAQ list, since I am no longer motivated to do so... and last not least, whoever added A.R. the City to this list - the original AR City version I had (Datasoft) supported only 48k and 64k but not 128k (only the Dungeon supported also 128k RAM)... greetings, Andreas Koch.

 

P.S.: The list contains original commercial *and* PD/Freeware/Shareware programs (like Megablast and Mental Age) - but no hacked/cracked/pirated programs (like cracked + patched XE and XE+ file versions of Goonies, Karateka, WKC, Tower Toppler, Commando, Crossbow, etc.)

- Megablast

That alone is reason enough to have a 130XE or expanded 800xl/1200xl.
