atariksi Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 BiffsGamingVideos gave this game an A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJzl7uQgv0M This uses two buttons unlike A8 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 8,700 Getting used to the button to fire and another button to jump, but otherwise, kewl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divya16 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 29,250 You must have played this game before a lot. I played maybe a couple of times on Atari 800 but this one requires two buttons so needs some getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I think I have just about every version of this except the 5200 one. I've bought one of these but not looking forward to 2 button controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought one of these but not looking forward to 2 button controls. It gets confusing once you have to keep alternating between buttons when the action is frantic.

Divya16 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Atari 800 uses Up to jump over craters which is more intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divya16 Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I can't get used to toggling between two buttons fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I can't get used to toggling between two buttons fast enough. Once you DO get used to it, you'll find your reflexes from the 8 bit Moon Patrol kick in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariksi Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Okay, score update. Looks like I will rewire my joystick so up is fire button for the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 A little better 14,050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariksi Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 A little better 14,050 I'll see how far I can get with new joystick adaptation. Even on A8, I didn't play this game that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 That 2 button bit makes this the hardest version I've yet played 4400 The Apple II/E was the first version I'd ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 That 2 button bit makes this the hardest version I've yet played 4400 The Apple II/E was the first version I'd ever played. You know, I have been wondering what it would take to port the 8 bit version to the 5200 just so I don't have to use the two buttons. Think of it... decompile the two versions, transfer the 5200 control codes to the 8 bit version.... ... if I could make a port of the game, could we use that for the competition this time around? Hey I'm winning.. I'd be the only one so far with something to loose by doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorclu Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Just realized... decompile the 5200 rom code, change the code so that pushing up on the stick is jump, and then that will be taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) The next time we play this game in the 5200 HSC maybe we could play a modified 5200 ROM version or a A8 conversion. Atari 800 conversions have been played before in the 5200 HSC. Edited September 25, 2010 by roadrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to modify the joystick wiring especially if you have digital joystick interface. Make a gender bender with the modified wiring or make a software version of the gender bender.

zylon Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Slight improvement: 5400 I've played the Apple II, Vic-20, C64, TI99, and 2600 versions. I'll try out the A8 one tomorrow morning since I've never really played it. Only got it a few months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
