ye5man Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Hi guys, enjoying reading through your posts. I had an Atari 800XL growing up and my fave games were Jungle Hunt, Dig Dug, Donkey Kong, Pengo & Java Jim. I remember lending a game from a friend whoich I really enjoyed but alas I can't remember the name to save my life. Basically you are a ghost and are in a house and have to solve these little puzzles in each room. The longer you stay in a room, the greyer you get. If you turn black then you die. If that rings any bells, then please let me know the title. It's been driving me mad the last 10 years Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 It was made by Roklon - Journey to the Planets I think it was, though they made atleast 2 if not 3 games based upon the same character. Fun game - very challenging at later levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ye5man Posted May 29, 2002 Author Share Posted May 29, 2002 Thanks for the swift reply. I'll go find the ROM and see if it's the one. I still have my old 800XL in the loft. The cassette deck has long since died though. I must say, handy things, these emulators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ye5man Posted May 30, 2002 Author Share Posted May 30, 2002 The game was "Castle Hassle". Got it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Yup, that was the other one. When your done with that one Journey to the PLanets is basically the same with new puzzles IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ye5man Posted May 31, 2002 Author Share Posted May 31, 2002 Hi Goochman, I have been playing journey to the planets but am not doing the right things. COuld you please help me out a little? 1: How do you enter buldings? 2: How do you land the spaceship safely without crashing? Thanks. btw: I was REALLY pleased to get hold of the cheat versions of Jungle Hunt & Donkey Kong for 800XL. I grew up on these games big time. Those were the top 2 games I wanted cheats for just to see what happens when you get really far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Destructo Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 1: How do you enter buldings? If you mean the buildings on your home planet, forget it. They are just decoration, you can't enter them. There are rooms and buildings you can enter on other planets, however, by touching them. 2: How do you land the spaceship safely without crashing? Slow your descent until the status bar at the top of the screen is green. It must be green when you touch down. Same for touching planets in deep space. Have fun! *hums "Anchors Aweigh"* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Destructo Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Yup, that was the other one. When your done with that one Journey to the PLanets is basically the same with new puzzles IIRC No, Journey to the Planets is completely different than the "Quest" games. I must have had the third game. It sounds exactly like ye5man described, but had a different name: Action Quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 re: JTTP Actually, the bar can be green or yellow when touching a planet...red will cause you to burn up. And I cant remember exactly, but I think you can still crash on a landing pad (when green) if your side motion is too great (but still not yellow).

Goochman Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 I stand corrected! I remember playing Castle Hassle and the other program and enjoying them (though some of those puzzles were tough!) Ill have to boot up Journey to the PLanets to refresh my memory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 When solving the puzzles, just think *simplicity* "How did he do just fantastic stunts? With such little feet??" -Hedy (THAT'S HEADLY!) LaMarr (Blazing Saddles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
