I don't get it. I must say I'm total musicaly deaf but anyway.. what is wrong to play sound that doesn't have exact frequency of notes? Just because someone defined notes, it's forbidden to use other frequencies? I don't care about your's in tune or out of tune.. for me it's important if it sounds good.

268100 ... I didn't make it to the Earth, ended on 1st stage to it from Mars. That bug where you can't continue without crashing I didn't discovered yet in emulator but I remember it happened to me sometimes on real ATARI many years ago when I played it as a kid.

Maybe TURBO expansion was needed I don't know. We just had that soft at home and I tried it a little, using some audio cassetes and replayed it back... IIRC I looked into the code of that small program and it used only 1bit sampling.. reads 0 or 1 from SIO and then replayed it back.. zero volume or full volume, nothing more. With 15,6kHz (change every line... 312x50) it's almost 2kB per second so as I said before, it played around 20+ sec of music.

It is possible on ATARI. I remember we had such a small program. You just put audio cassete in tape drive start the program and it recorder around 20-30s of music to the memory and then replayed it back via POKEY (volume only mode of course).

And when should something happen? When Willy aproaches Maria or immedietly when he has done what is neccesary and enters that room with Maria? Or how the end happens on other platforms? Tried to look into code too and found that when in room #$0D (the one with Maria) than you can't move more left than HPOSP $7F (code at $2CA6).

At least I'll participate for 1 point Never played this, but looks like a nice game, but as I see your scores, it's probably a little big long play time... 37 150

Can I somehow avoid spawning monster on me and thus get killed?

Yeah, I realized this rught now, so I can finally at least participate (using Atari800WinPlus 4.0 emu)

Oops... voted for the one behind the others

Done

At least I'll participate in this contest for 1 point 102900

What is paddle anyway? How it looks like and how it works?

emkay: I have the same prob with joystick in emu, so I set mouse device as paddles and play with mouse. But as bjk says, you can select joystick with F2 (option?). There are some settings and the icon on tp is changig, dunno what is what, but with some setting the joystick is working.

Ah... I found spinach! Hehe.. I just got into this game slightly

I think this game is not for me I have big troubles with punching the fying bottles. Or you are cheating all hehe 12880 so far...

Maybe not "better" but it can be surely done at least listenable. No ofense, but your examples and experiments are IMO unlistenable. Sometimes there is interesting sound, but the whole "music" is in best case wierd if not crap.

Why it's not possible to edit messages? So replace thrashes with ashbin (ashcan-usa) but I think you know what I meant

150465 on 3rd level I didnt even get from thrashes to ropes Is it possible to jump from small thrash to the big one or it has to be jumped straight on the big one with startup?

Ok.. I think I was maybe a little wrong with my memory and the scores. It looks like it was hundreds of thousands rather than hundreds of million. At least as I tryied it once now, it would take too much time to get it. So it was probably just millions. I played it now in emulator on keyboard and it is terrible. Joystick is a must. 343 300

That great game is almost endless! I remember that me and my dad was doing scores like hundreds of millions, or even some milliard (u.s. billion). As you get every new life for 10.000 points I remember we had like full 2-3 rows of lives (if it was not some modified version, but I doubt it). It has just 8 levels, then starts over again with faster enemies and then again with even faster enemies but after 3rd round of 8 levels the speed will not change anymore. Anyway.. great game.
