programming 8 bit haunted house

[Thelen]

I'm trying(i'm new to this) to program a assembler game for the atari 8 bit : haunted house.

I've included a demo binary which is an atari 8 bit cartridge image which can be started with atari800win.

 

let me know how you think about it.

Nice start. Are you going to try to mimick the 2600 version or are you going to try to spruce it up with the 5200 graphics? Either way, can't wait to see the final version.

I'm trying to remake the atari 2600 version.

well...you enhanced the 2600 version with scrolling, etc...

 

try not setting the VSCROLL bit in the last LMS line of the scroll area... so you can avoid the "jumping in" of the last gfx line... otherwise it looks so "C64"

 

btw...this version rocks!!! i love the candle and the eyes... Hounted house was my 1st 2600 game. i saw it at a friend of mine...and therefore i had to get a 2600...which i had few months later together with Vanguard....

ps. to say it with bruce... "glory days..."

I loved this title on the 2600 - maybe a few enhancements for the 8bit

Looks good. I was working on a similar project earlier this year. I have a MS Word version of the 2600 manual upgraded for the 8-bit machines if your interested in it.
