SLIMETIME2 - new game

[Baby Blue Azure]

SLIMETIME2 - based on the original SLIMETIME released by Joshua 02212017

This is a re-birth of a recent game. More than a year ago, A7800 blogger Joshua posted a fine game SLIMETIME on 7800 Hacks. Unfortunately, it seems hardly anyone noticed it. We played it and loved it. Joshua has packed and departed and for us it was sad because he had done such a great job and then no fanfare. We tried to contact him but no answer. Maybe he or someone who knows him can contact us at atari78in84@yahoo.com. In SLIMETIME2 the PIZZA message has been added, the KITE changed to a HOTDOG and the SKATEBOARD was updated. The rest of Joshua's stamps have been maintained as was. A fine work it is.

SLIMETIME2 Features...
 Five (5) Player 1 start lives.
 Now with Peter, Egon, Winston, and Ray labelled in the introduction.
 All-new "Fruit" - expert sprite development by Joshua, and slightly modified in SLIMETIME2.
 This JR PAC derivative now has a 4th intermission viewable at the start of the game, the others are disabled,

so extended gameplay is uninterrupted. The original SLIMETIME has the intermissions so you can still view

them in that version.
 Faster Player speed to boost Player's confidence.
 PlusMode activated at 8th rack so you play 7 normal racks and then 7 PlusMode racks.
 Rack numbers in scoring field - works in 2 Player mode as well.
 Remaining Dot Counter Display...so you always know how many dots remain somewhere on or off the visible playfield.
 Introducing RPD - Retain Position-Direction so when the Player dies he re-starts right where he was, which is handy for a
horizontal scroller game. The direction is now set to Left, as there can be Pac-man Runaway when he returns going to the Right.
 Invoked “IFR” (International Free Roaming) so the "Fruit" freely wanders around the whole maze until the Player munches it.
 TurnBlue activated upon munching the "Fruit,” which potentially reveals the all-new 6400 bonus score for the 4th "Fruit."
This gains 800+1600+3200+6400 = 12000 bonus points. Must be some kind of a record.
 High Score Cart (HSC) is de-activated for obvious reasons.

BBA,

Thanks, Trebor. When we have an opening in the QA department - YOU'RE HIRED! I usually check your Homebrews and Hacks Thread to confirm I'm not doing repeats, but failed to do so in this case. However, now I check and SLIMETIME2 wasn't there under me or Gambler, but it is now under the new me. So this title entirely slipped through a crack. It shouldn't be a big deal as people here come and go and maybe they didn't see it then but they see it now. I was mostly trying to get some kind of a response from Joshua who did a great job on his game. In my defense, I'm working dozens of games and to slip up like this doesn't surprise me. I'll try to be more careful in the future so we're not clogging up the blog with repeats. /BBA

No biggie; besides, it deserved its own thread.

 

Slime Time 2 was previously listed under your old/original/plain "Blue Azure" handle, since that is how gambler172 credited it in the aforementioned post. After this thread was created, I moved the entry to Baby Blue Azure and updated the date, as well as added an 's' to "(Hack)", considering the addition of an invincible version.

 

Nonetheless, should I merge "Blue Azure" and "Baby Blue Azure" entries as one listing (I.E. Blue Azure (AKA Baby Blue Azure)), or do you rather the identities remain separate?

The reason my name changed was I couldn't find a way to re-register into my original account. If it's a simple paste just move all Baby to Blue and the AKA isn't necessary. I should ask Albert if we could simply rename Baby BA to BA and call it a day. If it's a nuisance to move it then just leave it. Thanks again, BBAAKABA

...just move all Baby to Blue and the AKA isn't necessary...

 

Done.
