    Hi @ultima I think Sword of Surtr is awesome!  Sorry if you've already answered this question but I didn't see your answer: are you allowing folks to make carts?  I'd love to order a custom cart from AtariAge with your rom and label design if that's okay.

    Sure glad you liked it. Yeah I never got around to finishing the manual but its fine if all you want is a custom cart.

    I was searching for your game for awhile until I realized you renamed it! lol
    Is it finally done? :D I remember loving the project a couple years ago. 

    Sorry for the late reply but yeah for better or worse this was the final. Although looking at it with fresh eyes I think I could have done a better job.

     I finally made some progress on this project a major hurdle involving an idea to trace the location of all the characters in a timeline to figure where they are at any given time. 

     

    Now this was maybe a bit more involving since upon re-reading the silmarillion I read a passage from the history of middle earth books where christopher tolkien mentioned he wished he had tried rewriting the book as there were missing materials at the time it was deadlined, but with all the available writings anyone could "write their own silmarillion". So I went this route using the narrative of the silmarillion as the skeleton of the book and added missing details of the "story" from the lost tales, unfinished tales, the grey annals, morgoths ring, war of the jewels and the peoples of middle earth. And used the full book version of the children of hurin to develop a very uncompressed version of the silmarillion. 

     

    So using this as my new reference I am now creating a timeline forward from the music of the ainur to the 5th battle of beleriand. 

     

    Hope this explains why there has been nothing of note going on here.

    Thanks you for making me aware of this game. It looks awesome.

    This could totally be from Silent Hill 1.

     

    The only poitn that bothers me is reading " Every fight with enemies can be a fatal encounter " I played most survival horro games of the era they name, and it was far from the truth. But that could be simply to emphasis on the survival aspect, or just to point out that running away is always an option (how many times have I seen survival horror games that force you to fight monsters yet having mechanics that make each encounter deadly... I'm looking at you, Silent Hill Origins!)

     I agree. Games with quick time events are all garbage tomb raider reboot comes to mind. SH Origins is a sad excuse of a game in the original Silent Hill you could kill all the enemies in an area and then wander around and enjoy the atmosphere but in that crap game they just keep regenerating. Another garbage point is the original game was inspired by the movie Jacobs Ladder where the protagonist can't control going to his own hell but in that trash origins he can jump in and out of the mirrors.

     

     Anyway, I do look forward to a non roguelike silent hill style game in 3d. The developer Sungrand Studios has been given the green light and they are shooting for a December release with 2 more games following it.

    So are these downloadable games?  Are they really only $1?? 

    Yeah they are waiting for nintendo to finish the approval process. The first game 3 down stars I believe is retailing around $20. Undertakers ( the atari infuenced game) they said should retail for $1. The last game was only just anounced so no details yet.

     All of the titles center on ufo stories..

     

    The first game in the series is silver falls 3 down stars. A silent hill style survival horror title.

     

    The second game is silver falls undertakers an Atari vcs graphics inspired horror game. Taking place in the 70's more details are coming soon...

     

    The third game in the series will be silver falls deadly shadows a fixed camera angle style about a crew of lumber jacks.

       I loved this game and the vector arcade game. I never had any problem with it and as a kid really was impressed with the siren and exploding sky ending..after all AT-ATs were the woe ho ho for anyone who liked the movie. 

     

     I guess if the game needs remade or hacked then the Luke exits the broken snowspeeder with a tow cable, lightsaber, and a thermal detonator would be a fun addition ( btw how in the hell did he ever get off Hoth in time? He wasn't a Jedi yet). A titlescreen would be a nice addition. I also like the wave idea and power generator.

       This would be a interesting game to remake. It does not follow the movie plot so I could see a lot of interesting content that could be added in a reboot.

     

       Off the top of my head the fight with the bald german guy would be a boss fight.  The whole smash the truck into other vehicles trying to steal the arc could be done in a spy hunter style level. The movie intro escaping the rolling boulder would be great. The fight at Marion's bar...damn lots of missed opportunities.

    Subroutines that use a bitvariable can be activated by a condition that sets the bit on. When using the sub inline you can just check the condition if it returns false then jump to the next part of your program. If it is true then execute the code then switch the bit off to reset the condition

    Cancelled game no time

    Been slowly bringing this closer to a demo. So what's here?

    - a 32x 22 playfield

    - a temporary level to play in

    - lite dialog system

    - a working store

    - items to collect (armor, magic ring, roots, helm, treasure)

    - an enemy to kill (a spider)

    - death screen

    - title screen

    - useable item (heath potion)

    - enemy randomly drops treasure chests.

    - score tracks # of gold pieces

    - inventory system tracks what you find (here I am aiming for selectable weapons and useable items).

    - Theme is based on JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion

     

    controls

    - Use JOYSTICK to move and attack with FIRE button.

    - HOLD the SELECT button to go into inventory.

    - Cycle inventory by pressing RIGHT on the JOYSTICK.

    - To use potion highlight it in inventory and press DOWN the life gauge on the lower left will refill to max life.

    - RESET switch returns to titlescreen

    - On the "SHOP" screen FIRE is advance/confirm

    and SELECT is esc/cancel. There is only one item for sale at this time.
