Excellent project, how is the performance? I remember playing Spellbreaker on the 800XL was painful at times with a lot of disk access required for seemingly every command. I will try this out on an emulator but would love it to work on real hardware too.

I did some searching and haven't found a great answer. I remember it being possible to play Atari 8-bit MULE with emulators with a friend of mine over the internet before and was wondering if something similar was possible on the ST. Basically routing the second controller port to the internet. Mule had players take turns so maybe this was the only reason it worked? Any help/pointers appreciated, the game I am trying to get work is Superstar Ice Hockey.

Thank you for checking! I never considered that I would have mislabeled something but I obviously should have 😄

I captured these images with a 1050-2-PC cable a few years back and saw no errors while doing so. But when I load Ultima 3 and try to continue on with these player disks, I get garbage instead of the game. The only things I can think could be wrong are: -The disks were bad but the badness was captured intact by the transfer program -Maybe Ultima 3 version was different from when I created these disks in the '80s versus the version I have now. The version I have now is from the Atari/C64 disk version and I don't know what was used originally. Any help would be appreciated, I would love to see these again! ULT3CHAR.ATR ULT3OLD.ATR

I will have to try the slow emulator plan, hate to cheat but I have wondered this for almost 40 years now (off and on, mostly off 😁 ). I checked out your link (very interesting, too bad it's for C64) and didn't see Encounter. Is that why you think it doesn't end?

I loved this game back in the day but could never make it through the gate after level 8. The manual says the game only has 8 levels. So what happens if you get through the gate after level 8?

I'm midway through HFW, a little disappointed so far. I played HZD and liked the story but my favorite part was This was really well done and one of my favorite side quests of all time since it was developed well and the side quests of HFW aren't measuring up so far. Story of HFW is good and I like the Relic Ruins Tomb Raider like puzzle rooms. HFW suffers the classic annoyance of open world Ubisoft games where the developers constantly shove "New activity over here" and "Try this other thing over here" and it is very distracting when I am just trying to complete a mission.

I have had good luck with stores lately in my area. Found a fully functional Atari 800XL, 1050 and a modem and various controllers and a monitor cable for $200 in Ogden, Utah. Found both Worlds of Ultima games at a store in Boise for $75 each, about half of what they sell on Ebay for. So it can be worth it to check record/movie/video games stores but admittedly these finds are rare. Usually the only pre-1990 anything you ever see are 2600 cartridges or original Nintendo cartridges. Still pondering a C1702 monitor for $200 at another local shop, I hate to get a 40 year old CRT monitor that can't have that much time left.

Slow down was the key phrase. I either never knew or had forgotten it was even possible to slow down in this game so thanks for the reminder! The button did do something after all...

2 lap challenge 38700+36850+37900=113650 + not sure what NTSC bonus is

I think I could play for 100 years and not finish the 8 lap race on AtariGP level.

1 and 2 lap challenge

Even 74k for 1 lap challenge, I resolve to finish the 8 laps next but 78k for now.

15850 getting better but still a long way from the top.

7510 in case pic gets cropped weird. My timing was all off from being used to arcade Galaga.
