Jacob Rose Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Whoops, I guess you do kind of see it in the game, and it's definitely not a walking stick, oh well, I had a good time making these. Where do you see it in the game? I saw this a while back, and I'm just now playing it again, and I don't see the wumpus even when "Wumpus got you" appears... The original author of the original game, Gregory Yob, described the wumpus as too heavy for the bats to lift and having "sucker feet," so that he couldn't fall into pits, so I guess he could be a giant insect...or maybe an air-breathing octopus... Check out this early published version of the game: http://www.atariarchives.org/bcc1/showpage.php?page=247 (Don't forget to turn the page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 This won't affect the contest, but for those of you who are putting credits on your label, Hunt the Wumpus was programmed by Bob, using Fred's basic compiler. In my humble opinion, a few lines of fine print explaining the background of this cartridge would be a good idea, just in case there are still Atari collectors in 50 years. Definitely! Wish I'd gone to look at the binary earlier. Apologies to Bob Montgomery! No worries. Nice designs, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowantschips Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) no, i wish i can produce stuff like that. it's pulled and tweaked from old sources. the red one is my brother. What was the source image for the monster in the middle design, if you don't mind? It's wild. it is something that has been on my computer for years. he's been patiently waiting to be used.

whowantschips Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 so, who's won this? are we going to get to see the final product? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 We have a winner! One of Jacob Rose's entries was chosen for the cart. Congratulations Jacob! This is the design that will appear on the cart: I've sent Jacob a PM so we can work out the text that should appear on the label. Also, I will post a pic of the cart before I send it out to Spiceware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Congratulations, Jacob. The idea of a cave with convenient numbered signs is indeed amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Rose Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Congratulations, Jacob. The idea of a cave with convenient numbered signs is indeed amusing. Thanks! I hope it turns out well on the the cart - it's a little dark and I wouldn't want Spice to fall in a pit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 All the entries where great I wish I could be so artistically inclined. I selected the cave scene as it matched my impression of Hunt The Wumpus from playing it back in high school in the early 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
