+Philsan Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Traffic is a simple but very nice game for C64. Unfortunately I don't think an A8 version exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtrooper of Death Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 This game shouldnt be too difficult to make for Atari. I once typed a listing for the Tandy MC-10 microcolor computer that was published in the old Rainbow magazine. It was the same game. Controlling the traffic lights to keep the cars driving. The MC-10 game used 64x32 resolution... so ... the Atari one can easy be made. Even in BASIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Probably uses character or bitmap for the moving objects but likely there's a fair bit of attribute use as well. Constant pitched white noise... gets annoying as hell after about 10 seconds. The least they could have done was have some different noises for buses etc. And maybe throw in some emergency vehicles that you have to clear a path for... or maybe it already has that, I didn't hang around for very long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Reminds me a bit of some game on the RM Nimbus where you controlled gates for trains and had to keep them going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
