atarifanboi Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 This is a bloody good conversion, I've only tried on an emulator at the moment, but i will be firing it up on the 800XL I did actually finish it on my Spectrum back in the day, one run all the way through, looks like I have a new challenge!! How about Jet Set Willy next? Looking at Manic Miner, I'll bet you could do a better job than the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yautja Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) What about Terra Cresta? Perhaps mariusz´s z80 converter could do the miracle. - Y - Edited May 3, 2016 by Yautja 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Bug Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Genius work, Tezz... fantastic. I am about to get back to my Sabre Wulf / Atic Atac Spectrum conversion projects... your Manic Miner work is what I call inspiration! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezz Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 I've uploaded a short play through video onto You Tube this afternoon in 50fps 720/1080. I was going for a complete walkthrough of the game but I messed up on cavern 13, I blame background distractions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6ad7jhMv_E 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like Spectrum version of Terra Cresta 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poison Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 hi, can someone make immortal xex version for real atari? please:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 IMO it's not the sort of game you should have such cheats going on. Finishing with god mode is no accomplishment whatsoever. The way to get through would be to use save states at each level end. It's still cheating but at least you can say you actually finished each level without altering the program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don want to play it with emulator, but on real atari. And it is not for me, but for my 9 year old son:) He love this game such as me, but it is hard for him . . . so, I would like to have it:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmat56 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 That really is a great conversion. Its just so sad that all this new software wasn't available back in the day as I think the Atari would have stood up a lot stronger against its rivals. Anyway....decided to try and make a cassette of this port.....check out my handy work below. Also included a short video of the game loading via the Rambit system. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/Pj09m9fG2WQ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Tezz, As always I am a fervent supporter of you Tezz! You have always kept your word. And as everyone can see your word is not only good... it's great! Thank you for bringing such joy to to so many people, myself included. So very pleased to find after a couple months absence for myself, that upon returning you had provided such a wonderful and faithful game to lift our spirits. Thanks once again. _The Doctor__ finds the work of Tezz timeless and wonderful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grevle Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The melody thats playing while playing the game is "Dovregubbens Hall" in english something like "in the hall of the mountain King" By Norwegian Composer Edvard Grieg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNameOfTheGame Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 No cheat for me! This game is all about memorization and precision imho This is quickly coming to the top of my playlist. Tezz you have made a classic on our Atari! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I've been playing this for about a week now and it plays very well. I've had a few sessions, and I've made it up to "Return of the alien Kong beast"! I'm determined to get as far as I can without watching any walkthrough videos.
