Charlie_ Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Found this game on youtube and downloaded it from Climatics @ http://www.archive-atari.st/archive.html A very fun Space Invaders type game. Wanted to share as I had never seen it before yesterday and I've been having lots of fun playing it. I have to boot my Mega STe from floopy and there is no joystick support, but otherwise no troubles playing.

walter_J64bit Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Thanks! I'll have to play, I'm a big fan of Space Invaders! Say maybe some one can patch the game to use enhanced joystick ports AKA Jag controllers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Actually I started to work on this some time ago. Changing control to joystick is first thing what I had on mind .. Will not work on TT, Falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Actually I started to work on this some time ago. Changing control to joystick is first thing what I had on mind .. Will not work on TT, Falcon. Will you release the patch even if it doesn't work on TT or Falcon? Joystick control would be nice as I notice sometimes if you hold the KB keys some seem to "stick" and the player base will keep moving left or right on its own.

walter_J64bit Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I had to adjust my NTCS screen so the game can fit to it, now I got wide screen look to ST desk top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my LG SC1224 I get the score at top cut off and bit of the bottom. That is why it is overscan invaders When I use a VGA converter I can see the whole picture with games like this. Obsession pinball and Stardust come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All CRT's should have that adjustment, it's on the back of the CRT. It's called "vertical size" it looks like a box with one arrow in it, it's pointing up and down.

The LG SC1224 has it but you need a tiny screwdriver, there are no knobs, you have to adjust a pot sticking up on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Can't remember, but aren't those "pots" kinda fragile too? Be careful about using a regular metal screwdriver on them, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi DL! Yes. They can fold right over flat if you press in too hard on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
