    Thanks for releasing this! I like it. I played it last night on the MiST. I especially like that you were nice enough to release the sources. Like Bill I look forward to checking out the source...

    Yes, kudos for sharing the source code! I started reading material on ACTION! to write my own games, but I really like this approach of using cc65 on modern technology.

     

    The game is awesome brings me back to the 80s with it's look and feel, game play music was treat as well.

     

    Thanks Baktra!

    Thats what I thought kenjennings. Why would they pay me for the game but not include it in their magazine? Maybe there was a conflict of interest with the movie Spacehunter? At the time I didn't care, I used the money to get connected online by purchasing the 850 interface and 830 acoustic modem. Fun times for a young teenager!

     

    Good stuff FifthPlayer, very similar stories. I'll definitely check out books by compute.

    Hey Atari Friends,

     

    I wrote a BASIC game, "Spacehunter" on my Atari 800 some time ago, back in 83-84. I submitted my game to COMPUTE! magazine hoping they would accept it in their magazine. Not only did they acknowledge my letter and accept my entry, I was awarded $400 for my prize which was an absolute surprise for a 14 year old back then. I never got to see it published and to my knowledge the game never made it in any COMPUTE! publication that I have reviewed.

     

    Anyhow, I was thinking/hoping someone here on these forums may have better resources than I do that could verify that my game did make the COMPUTE! publication or provide any information about it.

     

    Thanks,

    -Joe

    You may already know this but AtariMax offered a reproduction of the Mac/65 cartridge at one point. It is probably still available. Also, B & C ComputerVisions sells the Mac/65 manual new for 14.95. That's where I got my manual.

    I'll look into AtariMax??? I've contacted B and C and he/she wanted around $75 for the cartridge and manual. Seems a bit steep to me, but what do I know :D

    yes they work well, use one with my 800 xl (well did until I got a 1200 with s-video)

    you will notice a good increase in picture quality over RF, much more than the difference between this lead and s-video (in my oppinion)

    Just bought it :)

     

    Thanks guys!

     

    Now, if only I could find the OSS ACTION! Cartridge/Toolkit and manual. :lust:
