Slor Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 On August 28, I'll be releasing my first ever (and probably only) game for the Atari 8-bit computer line. This is a port of the fairly popular and addictive Netwalk game that is available on a number of modern platforms, so I'm calling it AtariNet. I'm doing a limited cartridge release of no more than 50 carts, and I want to make them available first to anyone here who is interested. The carts are standard-issue Atari brown with custom labels, and the software is packed into a standard 16K ROM that will run on any A8, NTSC or PAL, with at least 48K RAM. AtariNet features 4 difficulty levels as well as support for keyboard, joystick, and ST mouse. The price for this little piece of Slordom is $20/cart + any shipping needed. If you're interested in getting one, please either reply to this thread or drop me a PM and I'll put you on the list. The first 10 to reserve a cart will get their serial numbers embedded and prominently displayed in the software. I only ask that you are able to make payment before August 28 in order to guarantee your reservation, because I will be offering any remaining carts for sale at VCF Midwest next weekend. Thanks for your support! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and if you happen to be going to be at VCFMW next weekend, of course we don't have to worry about shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 A new A8 game on a cart ? I will take one ! My thoughts exactly, plus it will be good to see Slor's work after all these years of knowing him around here. And it's a good price.

Slor Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Well, don't build it up too much. It was a fun logic game to do, and it has a bit of an addictive nature, so I just hope you guys have some fun with it. Worst case, you just paid a little bit more than you might have otherwise for the parts! Below is an emulator screenshot of the hard level from a beta build. Colors are a bit subdued there, but you get the idea. It's all about completing the "circuit" by closing every open endpoint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I scoured the internet a couple years ago trying to verify a Netwalk port didn't exist for A8 (and didn't find one), but there you have it. At first glance there are definitely a few differences, but I'll certainly have to try that one out now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hello Slor One for me please. I'll probably meet TheMontezuma and CharlieChaplin on the 24th of October, maybe we can share postage to Europe. Sincerely Mathy PS IIRC there is a second game that looks similar, it's name resembles "Loops of Zen". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's been "Coming Soon!" for many years now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'a bit' of an addictive nature? while I was on the phone for work in a meeting... I was playing and couldnt stop and didnt realize they were talking to me... sloopy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) It's similar to Loops of Zen, but the main difference is that Loops of Zen can have "stranded" portions of the puzzle that are part of the solution, whereas everything needs to be connected in this game.
