Super Mario Clone being written now

But, no point of moaning here. The game already includes much more good features than the other 99% of "platformers" on the A8 ... :cool:

 

I've got nothing to add (well, almost nothing).

 

The look and feel of this game demo is so polished it really shows that the full game will be a modern game on an ancient platform. Nevertheless there are some really old platformers for the ATARI 8-Bit that have addicting gameplay as well although the graphics and sounds are worse (e.g. Miner '49er).

Well, actually I consider the first water surface much more difficult to jump over.

 

Well, as you might suppose I disagree. For me jumping over the first water surface was quite easy compared to the part near the end of the level.

 

:)

 

If this is the first level, the difficulty might be a little bit lower, but still it is not that high to kill the playability.

 

Depends. ;)

 

I would like to see a difficulty level that has the ability to raise.

 

Anyway. High difficulty or not, Crownland is one of the highlights for the ATARI.

I am 100% sure that even demo of Crownland deserves it own thread.

 

It rendered me speachless when I saw it running (last time I was supprised as much was when Commando cartridge was discovered and dumped)

Simply beatifull!

Perfect design!

Marvel!

 

Fun not only to play but to wach as well.

 

PS

I even transfered recorder video of the game to my mobile phone (thats a pity there is no Atari emulator for Symbian) to be able to admire its qualies.

...but also notice that it's still a display with standard techniques, so very heavy calculations (for something like softwaresprites or something) are not even needed:

 

-DLI's for palettechanges and PM repositioning

-some fontflipping for the parallax effects

 

...but you sure can say that the above techniques are applied in an artful way.

 

ps. indeed, everytime I see there's a new post in this thread (about my marioclone, which I'm not working on anymore) I think that maybe there's progress in the mario project :D ....so I think no one would be against it if there would be a separate thread about this project (maybe a sticky one)

Someone needs to get a Sonic clone on this machine.

 

Btw, I'm interested in this Mario one as well, I wouldn't mind converting the ROM into audio so I can play it on the real thing but I don't know how.

 

I agree, the 8bit needs a sonic....I get wet dreams from the idea that maybe one day there's a Sonic3&Knuckles like game on the 8bit :love: drool drool

 

...maybe some things will be possible with the mega video upgrade (from the other thread) and some digisound: a softsynth engine that emulates the YM/Z80 circuit of the Sega Genesis.

That makes me a sad panda... :/

 

The Atari needs more platformers.

 

I believe the programmer decided to cancel the project

 

Is this project still alive? Is there a web page, download page? I didn't see one in the pages of the thread I read through...

 

Which are you talking about? Crownland was completed, and a very decent game. The SM3 clone made it to the point of a demo with movable Mario sprite (non-animated) and multiple levels to view.

The Mario Clone...

 

...I got Crownland, and aside of the annoying flicker effect, was VERY impressed!
