Triple Challenge on Ebay right now for anyone looking..

Also to be fair, the 2600+ supports both the 2600 & 7800. Under the original 7800 hardware, the Difficulty Switch settings are physically reversed from the 2600. People with consoles under the original firmware with the Difficulty Switch settings reverse, may actually try flipping the switch to the other setting if not receiving the expected result. They would probably put 2 + 2 together and figure out the switch settings are reversed. One of the internal dialogue for such an individual, may go something like this: "Hey, my Space Invaders ship is still fat, but I have the Difficulty Switch in the correct position...hmmm... Okay, let me try flipping the switch over... Yes, I fixed it! I guess the switch is mislabeled or set reversed. All I have to do is remember that fact going forward... Or maybe I'll check online to see if others are experiencing the same thing; perhaps there is a fix."

Sir, this is the Jag forum, please take your facts and rational thoughts elsewhere.

Is there a empty first row on the first page?

Same here, although given how bad I suck at gaming, the slower gameplay would probably be good for me! I will try it at least, to see how it looks. I love all things VBXE.

AMAZING JOB!!! Thank you so much for this!!

Pit Fighter just gotta be way down into the pit, but bottom 5…? Well, its really strong contender technically in most respects, but somehow they managed to let tiny bit of actual fun remain… ‘Fussball Soccer’ is definitly down there somewhere. They’ve worked hard to perfect its dreadfulness in every respect and make sure it just cannot provide any fun in any way; not fun in some ‘terrible-game but guilty pleasure-thing’, nor ‘bad game but with some obscure or nebulous redeeming quality’, just utterly depleted of fun.

I got Dirty Larry now. I haven’t played it much. Don’t want to either after the 2 first goes.

It should still work - just a little slower.

I just had a quick look at what's happening again... It uses the first two nibbles of the register, giving one nibble to each axis. The x-axis uses the first nibble, the y-axis uses the second nibble. As the mouse is moved on a given axis, the nibble will rotate through the 4 values; not in numerical order, but as follows. 00 -> 01 -> 11 -> 10... and then in the opposite order when it's moving in the opposite direction on the same axis.

What is the price? Did I miss that?

I have VBXL installed in an 800XL NTSC machine with a PAL GTIA installed. Works great!

@Atariboy You usually know where things are. Do you know where the different pieces of MicroProse ended up.

There was a French guy listed as in charge, he has to work somewhere.

@InsaneMultitasker Works well here!

From your review: "I appreciated that it ended up actually being kind of hard to catch the ghosts in this version. Even with multiple strategies, I still miss a few here and there which adds to the replayability and challenge of what was such an impressive gaming sequence when the title released on the C64 all those years ago. " It looks like the "adaptive difficulty" feature (not included on the C64 original) is working as intended 🙂 The game should feel challenging to players of all skill levels... but not too much. PS.: for those who miss having more than one skill setting... simply try playing without buying the ghost bait. Buy a trap instead. That should keep you busy 🙂

I want to create a little utility for Windows to list, extract from, add to and delete the contents of LiteDOS SE-format .ATR files. I have the manual, and it explains the format of a native disk, but I need to know the format of a Atari disk image. For example: does it have a header? How are sectors organized?
