carlsson Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Ok, another bunch of updates:Choplifter - 32 saved Hard Hat Mack - 545 pts, level 1Jawbreaker 1 - 21910 pts Inter Galleon Battle - 13800 ptsLunar Leeper - 17100 pts (never got a screenshot on this one)Malpass the Asteroid Mines - 29190 pts on Intermediate, 19380 pts on ProMarauder - 76400 pts Night Mission Pinball - 217840 ptsOn Galactic Patrol, I tied my previous score of 1150 pts and I realize one needs to shoot the bad guy in the middle to make the game last much longer. No improvement on Threshold. Regarding Inter Galleon Battle, it still froze on my 130XE after using the translator on U119A (which I assume is an OSA translator as U119B has an OSB translator). I switched to my NTSC 800 and enjoyed nearly two full games before the game froze on that one too. It seems buggy, both with the file directly downloaded from Fandal and the ATR prepared by TRBB.

youxia Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 How about some HSC15 Tee Shirts :-) Nice I'd like one with those guys from Threshold's level 2. Quite possibly most infuriating and devious videogame enemy ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Threshold crashes after the 1st round on my machine so didn't get any further than that 21300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 54,500 I finally got this one to run, albeit buggy. Moves easier to left than to right, but still playable. Much harder than C64 and VIC-20 versions which I used last time. I'm going to have to make a real disk of this to run one day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Night Mission 150.810 (those low bumpers are a pest, a lot of 50K-ish games with many balls deflected by them to be be lost between the flippers. Choplifter - a meagre 32. I recall being quite annoyed on finding out it didn't continue after rescuing all 64 hostages but very much doubt that I will ever reach that point with my 35 year older reflexes. Maybe I spent more time on it when I had as many games for my 800 as I have kids now....(3). Maybe it's the NTSC speed but I find keeping the chopper in the right orientation a lot harder than it was then and while I have learned to live with the fighters the UFOs are a PITA. This looks a lot more serious than the later adaptation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted September 9, 2018 Author Share Posted September 9, 2018 All we can do is try all the versions avaiable of IGB and Threshold, I can't remeber which ATR of threshold I downloaded but perhaps it might need the disk leaving as R/W. I can upload the one I'm using if needed. McKong are you on 800XL with disk or SIO2SD for this one? Those T-Shirt are really great RT so who has a loom in their attic Seviced my microswitches firebuttons as usual seem to oxidise? causing intermittent reliability, this time a quick rub on the posts and contacts with some vfine glass paper seems to be good. No improvments on Threshold or Jawbreaker (very tough game) or HHM though did get a bit further in working out the 2nd screen, next go will see screen 3 (hopefully!) Did manage improvements on: Choplifter 44 Kult 38,798 NMP 210,160 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youxia Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 In Night Mission, do you start the game by pressing Q? In Malpass, do you also get jerky movement (mostly enemies)? I'm trying to figure if this is how the game is, emulator settings or maybe NTSC/PAL malarkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Yes, Q to add credits in Night Mission and S for each player who wants to participate, up to 4 players at once. You need at least as many credits as there are players. I didn't think about how jerky the movement is in Malpass, but character based I believe. Will need to play this again to consider the movement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone to commend this? Edited September 11, 2018 by slx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to figure if this is how the game is, emulator settings or maybe NTSC/PAL malarkey. After playing a little more, I can vouch it really is smooth scrolling, and all the enemies move pixel by pixel (soft sprites?) so not jerky.

McKong Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Threshold started working for some reason so i got a couple of games before it crashed again 41100 Edited September 11, 2018 by McKong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youxia Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) After playing a little more, I can vouch it really is smooth scrolling, and all the enemies move pixel by pixel (soft sprites?) so not jerky. What Atari machine and system (PAL/NTSC) are you running it on? I might try to replicate that, though atm I'm limited only to NTSC. Also, I can't start a game in Night Mission. The attract mode is running, but pressing Q does nothing. It's weird, since Q works in other games.

carlsson Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I played it yesterday on my PAL 130XE. I didn't try Malpass on my NTSC 800 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Inter Galleon Battle - locked up on my 130XE after stage 3 so I must have used it directly from APE when trying it out. Might work on a DOS2/2.5 disk (doesn't from mydos) Improvements Threshold 64,600 NMP 215,380 JB 29,610 HHM Lv3 !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
