erichenneke Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I completed Bounty Hunter, thanks guys. I died a few more times and really should play it 1 more time as I didn't do something that would almost certainly kill me too! When are we getting the next in the series "The Bounty Hunter vs The Pharaoh" or was it the Bountr Hunter?!; young Eric was so concentrating on spelling Pharaoh correctly Enjoyable game thank you, now I must have another go at finishing Zork Wow, nice catch on the "Bounter" thing. I wonder how many times I read over that and never noticed that typo!!! As for Bounty Hunter #2 "vs. the Pharaoh"... it was about 70% finished "back in the day" but never completed. I had the story plot, objective and challenges and "map" all figured out but the coding was just never finished. I found the original physical floppy disk earlier this year but it was corrupted and I was pretty bummed out about that at the time. Luckily AtariGeezer and RusG were able to come to the rescue and fixed my corrupt disk images!! I also recently found my original notes and hand-drawn "map" of the game, so I could definitely still finish it up now but not sure how interested folks would be in that???? -Eric 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetz Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'd love to see the sequel! First of all, we need more text adventures , and secondly, it's great to finish unfinished projects more than 30 years later ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorgh Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 N.A.G. - I forgot to say I think I had the guy off the right edge near the end of one of the runs! NAG 66222.jpg 66,222 OMG, that's just plain awesome! Wasn't aware that one can get such score! BTW did you like the ending? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) With regards to additional content on N.A.G., I have some ideas.... (dependent on free memory and whether you'd like these or not) * A little variety in the course texture. If it is possible to keep the illusion of a slope. * Changing background colour. * Stick him on a bicycle / unicycle * Trees of different sizes * More bushes * Holes have already been mentioned * Advertising at the side... (try to avoid greetz though) * Stars that alternate with skeleton faces, making you amend your speed accordingly * Rabbits that run across the course * Moles that pop up * Speech (that halts the music) Edited September 24, 2017 by snicklin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetz Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Deadline ends the moment Wolfgang counts the votes, so sometime during the JHV. So better make sure you vote a few days before in order not to come in late... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CharlieChaplin Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) Hmmm, afaik the annual Abbuc meeting is at October 28th, the voting ends somewhere between 4:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. I guess... I will vote at the meeting, like every year. Maybe some Abbuc member can install a good camera (I don't have one), so Abbuc can send a live-footage of the annual meeting, the counting of the votes and the announcement of the winners of the software contest...

freetz Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 It would help the organizers a lot if as many people as possible could make use of the online-voting facility (whether at the JHV or before), because counting all the ballots takes up a lot of time that we cannot use for other (more fun) activities. As for live-footage, this is a lot of work and not just setting up a camera, so unless someone has experience in that, it's better to have no such thing as a bad implementation, IMHO. Besides, it's another incentive to come to the JHV ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not done it, but it should be quite easy to setup live-streaming on youtube... you just need validated youtube account: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2474026?hl=en any kid can be youtuber now, it's not rocket science.

Mathy Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Hello guys We can not stream the official part of the meeting. But we could stream the rest. Small problem: You never know when the official part is over until it's over. Maybe skr could set it up? Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patjomki Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 We would like to thank all our voters. Congratulations to the winner but also to all the others that participated. Great selection of different genres this year. Attached find the abbuc version of Superfly XL (lite). It is pal only and runs best on real hardware. I hope I can find some time to make a ntsc version and to fix some minor things... Enjoy! superfly_boot.atr 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
